About Vinette de Phillipe Expertise I am able to answer most questions concerning the art of needlepoint. Marking your own canvas, types of stitches and more.
Experience I have been needlepointing for over 35 years. Have taught classes to both adult and youngsters.
Question I have started using Thread Heaven Thread Conditioner on my Paternayan wool. It makes the wool much easier to work with. Will this cause any problems with my work later on? It's not supposed to leave a residue.
Thanks!
Beth

Perfect for use with Beadalon® Silk, High Performance, and Poly Nylon beading cord, Thread Heaven is the only thread conditioner you'll ever need! By applying a thin coating to the thread surface, Thread Heaven straightens, strengthens, and binds thread fibers together to prevent fraying. Even the thinnest coating protects against sunlight, humidity, and other environmental conditions. It also helps you to thread needles easier and string beads faster!
Thread Heaven is unlike beeswax, which produces a sticky coating that causes threads and beads to stick to each other. When thread treated with Thread Heaven is pulled between your fingers, a small static electric charge is produced. This charge forces the thread away from itself preventing tangles and knots.
Thread Heaven is non-toxic, acid-free, and very easy to use! Simply press your thread against Thread Heaven and draw across. Then, pull between your fingers to remove excess and produce static electric charge. Repeat as often as you'd like.
