Zircon waxed braid has just the right amount of special waxed coating, enabling easy hand-plaiting and provides an ideal surface for slipknots such as in neckwear. It can be melted, weaved or plaited to form thicker braids. Use Zircon waxed polyester braid with confidence to create quality hand-made or machine-made products.
In New Zealand we have many manufacturers who use polyester braided thread for greenstone jade [Pounamu] and bone carving souvenir necklaces because of it's strength, feel against the skin, vibrant range of colours available and the ability to plait colours together. Waxed braid is available in four thicknesses, as above in the stitch comparison illustration.
