Candle wick

For the production of candle wicks, natural cotton thread is used, which does not smoke or crack when burning.   

 

We produce braided and twisted wicks.

 

One of the most important tasks when creating a candle is to choose the right wick.  

The choice of wick is up to you, because each master has his own secrets. 

 

The wick is sold on spools, the weight and length are specified by the manager when ordering. 

 

Pigtail weaving provides an optimal, uniform burning speed of the candle.

The twisted wick also has its advantages and, most importantly, an optimally favorable price.
