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 (or pesky metallic!) thread-- hand embroidery, hand quilting, cross-stitch, book-binding, beading, english paper piecing, applique, repairing clothes, whatever you want! 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.
HOW IS THIS PRODUCT MADE?
I worked with a local manufacturer to produce the formula for this supreme quality thread gloss with all natural ingredients. Now, I work with my husband to produce this supreme quality thread gloss with all natural ingredients. Produced in small batches in-house since February 2019.

Mystery packs: grab 2 or 4 for a discounted price, dealer's choice. I usually give you whatever is bestselling at the moment! However, you can totally let me know if there is a blend you DO NOT want. This has been helpful for folks that can't decide-- yes, they are all that good!
SHIPPING
If I offered free shipping on this item as I do with most everything else, I would be seriously losing money— I wouldn’t even get the production cost back. If the shipping costs less than what you paid, I’ll refund the overage, of course. All packages are insured. Ships internationally. Orders over $35 ship free domestically, always! If you're in Canada, try ordering from Chasing Quilts to receive a better shipping rate.
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. I haven't used thread gloss on yarn. You're welcome to use this product however you want, let me know how it works so I can update this section!
--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 color of the gloss will definitely vary from batch to batch, and between containers, while the consistency and effectiveness remains the same.
