Choose your desired wick thickness and the required quantity when ordering. The wick is sold by the metre.
Which wick thickness do I need?
I deliberately do not give a blanket recommendation for a specific candle size or type of wax.
This is because the right wick thickness depends on several factors: Every type of wax has its own properties. The shape and size of the candle, as well as the method of making it, also play a role. Possible colour or fragrance additives are another factor.
A wick thickness that works well in one candle may not produce the same result in a different wax blend or mould.
My tip: Perform a burn test with your own combination of wax, wick and candle mould before making several candles. This will allow you to see how your candle burns and whether the chosen wick is suitable for your project.
