Extremely supple: The high wax content makes the yarn particularly soft and pleasant to work with.

Highly water-repellent: The intensive wax impregnation optimally protects the polyester from moisture.

Dimensionally stable: Wraps and knots retain their shape better and do not slip.

Polyester as base material

UV-resistant: Polyester is highly UV-resistant and retains its strength even under intense sunlight.

Durable: Polyester does not rot and is resistant to salt water and weathering.

Colorfast: The colors remain brilliant even after prolonged use and hardly fade.

💡 Tip

The 0.8 mm gauge is the most versatile and ideal for most marling projects. The color mix set is perfect if you want to try different colors or have yarns on hand for various applications. The high wax content makes the yarn very supple—you can run it between your fingers before working with it to make it even softer. For storage: Keep the spools in a cool place to prevent the wax from softening too much. The braided 1.0 mm version is particularly suitable for neat, even windings. For a professional finish, you can carefully melt the ends with a lighter.

⚠️ Important

Waxed rigging twine is not suitable for load-bearing applications . It is intended solely for decorative and protective purposes. The high wax content can soften at very high temperatures – do not store the spools in direct sunlight or in hot environments. Wax residue may remain on your hands during handling; this can be removed with warm water and soap. Avoid contact with solvents, as these can dissolve the wax. Spool lengths are approximate and may vary slightly.

Ideal for

• Sailing yachts and motorboats
• Classic yachts and traditional ships
• Boat builders and restorers
• Riggers
• Sailors who value high-quality materials
• Versatile projects with different colors
