Waxed Thread: Our round waxed cord is made from polyester and lightly coated with wax for smooth weaving, knotting, and macrame. The waxed beading string offers high breaking strength, strong wear resistance, and no elasticity. It is stiff enough to tie knots and hold shapes. Jewelry Making: This waxed thread is ideal for DIY bracelets, necklaces, earrings, beading projects, lacing, and braiding. The waxed surface allows the thread to glide smoothly through materials. The wax may gradually wear off with use. Leather Sewing Use: This colorful waxed thread is suitable for bookbinding, DIY crafts, hand sewing, and leatherwork, such as repairing sofas, wallets, shoes, and bags. A variety of colors are included to match your project. Wide Use: This strong and durable waxed polyester string can be cut to any desired length. The wax coating helps resist fading, abrasion, and mildew. It is waterproof and can be worn in the shower or while swimming.
