What is Thread Gloss?
Thread gloss is a specially formulated all natural and non-toxic beeswax 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, in twelve fun scents. Made in Issaquah, Washington.
Why do I need Thread Gloss?
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 Thread Gloss for?
Anything that you're dealing with cotton thread--hand embroidery, hand quilting, cross-stitch, English paper piecing, applique, 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.

This is a very subtle, slightly masculine scent inspired by my very specific experience in Taos and the surrounding areas—trekking around in the high desert plateau and mountains; getting sunburns while hiking on snowy trails one day and alongside bighorn sheep and cacti the next (and watching the bighorn sheep come way too close, with my husband’s arms around me, in awe and totally nervous); eating picnic lunches in the back of our pickup truck; staying in a yellow vintage trailer and feeding the resident pig named Maxine; ridiculous sunsets and views; drinking craft beer; daydreaming, taking pictures of everything. Feeling completely at home in a place we’ve never been before.
