ECO Wicks for Soy Candle Making

These ECO flat braided cotton wicks are interwoven with paper for added rigidity and are often used for soy and paraffin candle making.

Candle making and wick sizing is a bit of a subjective art form. Depending on the wax you're using and how you prefer your candles to burn, you may find your personal sizing tastes are quite different than our suggestions. Experimentation is the only true way to figure out what will work for you and the wax you've got.
