Wicks for candles

Which wick should I choose for each candle?

The wick depends on the type of wax, the diameter of the container and the finish you want. Eco or cotton wicks work very well for container candles. If you want a more decorative candle or a crackling effect, wooden wicks can be a good choice.

What is the difference between eco, cotton and wooden wicks?

Eco wicks give a stable, clean burn in many types of container candles. Cotton wicks are a classic, versatile and natural option, widely used in handmade candles. Wooden wicks add a more premium look and a crackling effect, which is why they are popular in scented jar candles.

Are they compatible with plant-based waxes?

Yes, these wicks are designed for plant-based waxes such as soy, coconut, rice or palm wax. Even so, always test first, as the burn also depends on the fragrance, the colourant and the final diameter of the candle.

Are the wicks ready to use or do they need waxing?

Pre-made candle wicks usually come ready to use, so you do not need to wax them first. The unwaxed wick roll, on the other hand, is intended for more customised or technical use.

How do I choose the wick for my container's diameter?

The main reference is the diameter of the container or candle. The larger the diameter, the more burning capacity the wick needs. That is why you should use the guide size given for each product and always confirm with real burn tests.

Which wick is best for container candles?

For container candles, eco and cotton wicks are usually the most practical and versatile options. If you also want a more sensory or decorative finish, a wooden wick works very well in this format too.
