All-natural candle wicks for soy, paraffin, and natural wax blends
Our candle wicks are constructed from all-natural, ring-spun cotton and are made in the USA. Pretabbed candle wicks come in standard 6" lengths, are primed with a wax coating, and have a metal tab at the wick base, making them easy to use in container candles.
Wick Basics
How to Choose the Right Wick
Picking the right wick is one of the most important parts of candle making. The wrong one affects your burn, your hot throw, and how clean your candle looks. It really comes down to two things — your wax type and your candle diameter. Once you know both, you're ready to find your match.
Reason #1
Type of Wax
Your wax decides which wick series you'll reach for — CDN, Zinc, LX, ECO, and more. Different waxes burn differently, so the series is your starting point. Soy, coconut, beeswax, and paraffin each have wicks that work best with them. Know what you're pouring, and you're halfway there.
Reason #2
Diameter of the Candle
Your container size tells you the wick size. Measure straight across the top of your jar, then match that number to the right wick in the series you picked. Too small and you'll get tunneling. Too big and you'll get smoking and mushrooming. The right size gives you a clean, even melt pool every time.
Why the Right Wick Size Matters
A properly sized wick creates a full, even melt pool — and that's what releases your fragrance into the room. Too small and the wax won't melt fully, so the scent stays weak. The right size gives you that strong hot throw makers love.
Wick size keeps your flame steady and safe. Too large and you'll get excess soot, an erratic flame, and a container that can overheat. The right wick keeps things calm, clean, and burning the way they should.
The right wick means a clean melt pool, less soot, and a longer, more even burn. No tunneling from a wick that's too small, no mushrooming from one that's too big — just a candle that performs start to finish.
Having Trouble Selecting a Wick?
Many wicks will work for your wax type, but in general Premier, Zinc, CDN, Aroma Lite, HPSP, and LX are ideal for coconut blended waxes. If you're using mainly soy or beeswax, then I recommend CD, ECO, or HTP wicks because they burn hotter and work better in harder waxes.

Still Have Questions about Candle Wicks?
Our pre-tabbed candle wicks have a high-melt point wax coating comprised of vegetable wax and beeswax. This coating creates rigidity, making the wick easy to handle and center. However, our Premier wicks are coated in high temperature paraffin wax.
One way to center your wicks is to use our wick centering tool. This will allow you to perfectly center your single and double wicks. Before pouring the wax into your container, attach our high-temp wick sticker to the pre-tabbed wick and center it in the bottom of the container, then attach wick bar pulling the wick taut and pressing it into the bar's slot.
Beeswax is a versatile wax suitable for containers, pillars, votives, and wax melts, but wicking it can be challenging! It may require additional testing to determine the best option for your candles. We typically recommend either square braided wicks or ECO series for beeswax. It’s a good idea to purchase the ECO sample pack for testing. Having a range of wick sizes available for testing will help you identify the one that works best with your wax.
