Wicks & wick tabs 

Would you like to make your own candles and are you looking for the right wick? Here you’ll find special round wick suitable for making beeswax candles, and also usable for paraffin wax, other wax types, oil lamps, and outdoor torches.

Our wick is available in various sizes, from size 0 to size 20, which indicate the thickness of the wick. This means you can choose the right wick for your specific candles, depending on how thick you want them to be. There are also sample packs of (tealight) wick with multiple sizes in smaller quantities.

Please note that beeswax burns less consistently than, for example, paraffin, and every batch of beeswax can burn differently. Always ensure you use the right wick for your specific candles to prevent them from unintentionally going out too early or burning too hot. Tip: always make test candles with 3 wick sizes to determine the best wick choice. Let test candles cure for a few days (or overnight in the freezer) for the best test result. Order your favorite wick now and make your own candles exactly the way you want!

Which wick sizes are available and which should I choose?

When making candles, it’s important to choose the right wick to ensure they burn properly. For example, if you use a wick that’s too thick for candles made from beeswax or another wax, this can result in candles that burn too hot and burn down quickly, have an oversized flame, etc. It’s therefore advisable to choose the correct wick for your specific candles to prevent them from going out unexpectedly or burning too hot. Our range of wicks offers a wide choice of sizes, from number 0 to number 20, which indicate the wick thickness. The higher the number, the thicker the wick. Below are the thicknesses and the approximate length per spool of our wick at a glance:

  • Number 0: thickness 1.7 mm, length 1250 m
  • Number 1: thickness 1.8 mm, length 1110 m
  • Number 2: thickness 1.9 mm, length 950 m
  • Number 3: thickness 2 mm, length 850 m
  • Number 4: thickness 2.1 mm, length 750 m
  • Number 5: thickness 2.2 mm, length 680 m
  • Number 6: thickness 2.3 mm, length 600 m

With this information, you can choose the right wick for your specific candles, depending on the candle diameter you want. This way you ensure your candles always burn well and have the desired look.

Tip: always make test candles with 3 wick sizes to determine the best wick choice in combination with your chosen wax type. Allow test candles to cure for a few days (or overnight in the freezer) for the best test result.
