I can't see it making any difference in the way I judge the work, so long
as you mention that it is commercially produced, that it came already
waxed, and that explain why you used it rather than making your own.

On the other hand, is there a reason you're buying waxed thread? I have
a spool of unwaxed linen thread I bought some years back, but if it's no
longer easily available, that's a reason not to use it.
