HNW - beeswax?

[Rachael AKA Theodora]

I prefer not to use beeswax any more, mostly due to the fact that it leaves quite a bit of residue and will yellow over time.  I prefer to use Thread Heaven, which is a readily available silicone based conditioner.  It works quite well on silk threads and metallic threads.  You just have to make sure you coat it well.
