it is washable? i mean after stitching with this wax who do you get rid of it from the stitched work ? Yes, sabina it is washable. I use it all the time, not just for metalics. It does not leave any residue behind at all. I never had problems with that at all. It just makes stitching easier because it makes the floss slide trough the holes easier and helps to keep the floss from fraying. I never stitch without it. Wax, short lengths, and a lot of patience.
