Thread Heaven or ????

I have used Thread Heaven with metallics and am VERY happy with how it works. But I was wondering what others use instead.

What do you use to help make floss more manageable?

Thanks:)

mardy Publish time 2020-2-6 11:54

I don't like to put anything of my threads, I worry about the long term effects.I just use short lengths of metallics and haven't had a problem

I have a big block of wax (unscented) that I use instead of Thread Heaven. Works like a charm!
