Common Questions about Wraps...

How long do they last?

I have people who are still using my wraps almost two years after purchasing them.  They will not last forever but can be revived either by ironing them between pieces of parchment paper or placing them on parchment-lined cookie sheet in a 200C oven for a closely watched few minutes.  If you're local to Northumberland County, I can revive them for you! When they've truly bitten the dust, cut them up into small pieces and compost them.

How the heck do you wash them?

Remembering that they're made of wax, they like to be cleaned in tepid water and mild soap. Wash them under running water between your hands or wipe them off with a sponge and let them dry. Your stack of clean dishes will look pretty.

I'm allergic to pine resin, can I use them?

I don't want to give away all my secrets but if you've got allergies to pine, I can make wraps with 100% damar resin.  Just pop me an email and I'd be happy to sort you out.

How do you use them?

Simply wrap them around unused foods, fold them into a bag, or cover a dish.  The heat from your hands will mold them and help them stick together.

What can I put in them?

Beeswax wraps are great for keeping bread, cheese, fresh pasta, fruits, and veggies fresh. Plastic smothers food but the wraps allow food to breathe and keeps bacteria at bay so your food stays fresher, longer. They're great for covering leftovers and for packing things to go. Things to stay away from are things like raw meat and runny things that stain, like tomato sauce.  

Do you do custom orders?

Yes!  They will take longer to get to you but if you have a specific theme or colour in mind or want matching towels and wraps in various sizes, please email me and I'd be happy to put something together for you.

Testimonials

I love my beeswax wraps!  Great for kids' lunches; my four year old loves the fun prints, and they're way easier to open than containers.

I have used wax wraps in place of plastic wrap for a number of years. I have found that the Lady of Shallots wraps are superior to all other brands of wraps. Lady of Shallots wraps are more malleable than other wraps and so form themselves around containers and food items, keeping them fresher longer. The all-natural materials used in production are sustainable and eco-safe. The colorful patterns make them an idea gift for any occasion and season. All in all a wonderful product.

We use our beeswax wraps regularly but I recently bought a set for my mom for Mother's Day and she is obsessed! Thanks! We love them!

I love your beeswax wraps!  I was using one at work this week and while on a Zoom meeting, I held it up and showed everyone how cool it was.  It wraps beautifully, the pattern makes me smile, and it makes me feel good about helping the planet.  I am a fan!
