How do you use this? Do you pull it through the wax whilst it is inside holder or do you take it out? Asking as some photos show it out of holder

You pull the thread through whilst in the holder. You can open the holder to rotate the wax tablet, getting the most use out of it.

is this product any good for embroidwry thread for cross stitching?

Yes, depending on how you like your finished item to look & what you will use the finished item for. Wax keeps the thread fibres smooth so stitches remain clearly a cross and are a little more water/stain resistant. Unwaxed stitches tend to spread a little,giving a smoother,less stitched look. Waxed items tend to wear better than unwaxed, so a cross stitch item made into clothing, a beg etc, is better waxed. Cross stitch framed and under glass doesn't need the extra protection. Otherwise it is down to personal taste. I hope you find this helpful ?. Best wishes, cal x

Does it make the thread sticky? Is it effective on glitter thread as that really frays when used.

There is traction on the thread, but not the point of being sticky (in my opinion). I have never tried it on glitter thread, but if using only on ends of a working tread to prevent fraying... go for it. It could work in that manner. I wouldn’t put over the entire thread if it has glitter effect, might change the effect.

I ordered white however the beeswax turned up yellow.. Can I use this on all coloured threads for cross stitching or will it discolour colours

I use this mainly for strengthening the yarn I use in pompon making and it works really well. I’ve not noticed a change in colour. I’ve seen other recommendations with regards to the use with cross stitch and they have been positive. I’d give it a go.
