Thread Gloss

WHAT IS THREAD GLOSS?
thread gloss is a specially formulated wax and oil blend that coats your thread to prevent tangles, fraying, and brittleness. Think of it as a deep conditioner for your thread and embroidery floss.

WHY DO I NEED IT?
Have you ever had to cut your thread short in the middle of your groove because there was a gnarly knot? Using thread gloss helps prevent tangles and knots, taking away all of the frustration of handwork.

WHAT CRAFTS DO I WANT TO USE IT FOR?
Anything that you're dealing with cotton thread – hand embroidery, hand quilting, cross stitch, English paper piecing, appliqué, repairing clothes, whatever. Simply drag your thread across the gloss pot after threading your needle, applying slight pressure on the thread with your thumb, while pulling with your other hand.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

• You can use thread gloss on any thread except for silk and nylon. For best results, stick to cotton and cotton-polyester blends.
• You're also going to want to store in a cool, dry place. Don't even think about leaving it in the sun! For external use only – it's totally chill if you get some on your hands when applying to the thread – just don't eat it. I mean, you'd probably be fine since thread gloss is made with all-natural ingredients... but don't.
• We use totally all-natural, unfiltered beeswax. This means that there may be a tiny amount of hive gunk at the very bottom of the gloss pot, but this won't affect the quality of the gloss. The colour of the gloss will definitely vary from batch to batch, and between containers, while the consistency and effectiveness remain the same.

WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE?

Bohemian - Smells like your basic hippie young living mom's house.

Cozy - Smells like warmth, happiness, and joy. It's that hand-scooped vanilla ice cream cone you're eating after riding your bike to the local sugar shop. It's a hearth surrounded by plants, local art, incense, and vintage records playing. It's like settling into home habits with the one you love after your honeymoon. It's crisp and comforting, woodsy with hints of floral.

Creamsicle - Smells like childhood summers chasing the ice cream truck. 

Equinox - The quintessential autumn scent that will make you want to order a venti PSL, scroll Pinterest, and live your unapologetically best basic life. Some things are commonly loved for a REASON, right?

Hippie - Smells like your childhood visits to the Food Co-op.

Olympic - Smella like the Sequim Lavender Festival.

Santa Fe - Smells like a margarita on a terra cotta patio.

Tropics - The newest blend! Smells like a summer breeze blowing through a resort, like fruity drinks and well-earned vacation days. Flirty and fun.
