Retangular 1.0 oz. Bee’s Wax Cakes

Bee’s wax was used to wax and smooth the outside of linen thread so the thread does not fray as it is pulled through the fabric. Just hold the thread against the wax with your finger and pull the thread. Coat both sides and sew. Wax may also be used to initially hold thread on thread winders and to keep tops on containers.
