Split Style Needlework

The thread for Split Style Needlework is typically 1/8 to 1/12 the thickness of a normal thread, then a single thread is threaded onto a needle and drawn through soft wax folded between a green leaf to lubricate it, resulting in a final pattern that is smooth, crisp, glossy, tight, and resistant to becoming soiled. It is a painstaking and time-consuming process.
