【Sold Separately】
* Please note that the Braided Wick and the Metal Tabs are sold separately.
* Each order of wicks includes 1 roll/spool of about 200 ft woven candle wicks.
* Each order of wick tabs contains about 190-200 pieces of metal tabs. It's important to get the candle wick size right, as otherwise your candle will not burn in the way you expect.
* If you over wick, your candle can burn through the wax like butter and before you know it your candle will be gone.
* On the other hand, under wicking has the opposite effect, and can result in the candle wax not being fully vaporized. We don't want this. We want to extend the life of the candle to an acceptable length, whilst still using up all the wax. But what size wick do you actually need for your candle?
How to choose the right sized candle wick?
This really depends on a couple of variables, namely the type of wax you are planning to use and the size of your intended candle.
To get the right size candle wick, you should:
1. Measure the diameter of your jar, container or mold.
2. Then, compare this measurement to the below guide.
