Flat braid cotton wicking is often used in beeswax, soy, and paraffin candle making. We have several sizes available, appropriate from anything from taper to pillar candles.
Candle making, especially with beeswax, is a bit of an subjective art form, but below are some general candle sizing to wick size guidelines. Depending on the natural wax you're using and how you prefer your candles to burn, you may find your personal sizing tastes are quite different than the suggestions below. Experimentation is the only true way to figure out what will work for you and the wax you've got.

15 ply is for tapers and thin candles
