Candle Wicking
A candle just isn´t a candle without a wick. But not all wicks are created equal.

Making your own candle wicks
A candle wick works by capillary action, where it transports melted wax to the flame. As the melted wax reaches the flame it vaporizes and is burned. Primed wicks lightly coated with wax aids in lighting the candle. When your wick burns it pulls melted wax to the flame and continues burning.

Types of Wicks and Uses
Picking the right candle wick can make a huge difference in more ways than one.
