Wicks are an essential component in the art of candle making, serving as the flame holder and determining the burn characteristics of your candles. In this category, you'll find a wide range of wick sizes suitable for various candle-making projects, from small votives to large pillar candles. Unlike other supplies like kits or wax, which provide complete sets or raw materials, wicks are focused on the functional aspect of lighting and burning your candles beautifully. When selecting a wick, consider the diameter of the candle you're making and its intended burn time; too thick for a small candle can lead to an uneven burn, while too thin might not produce enough flame. This subcategory is perfect for both beginners looking to experiment with different burn patterns and experienced candle makers aiming to achieve specific effects or match their candle designs to particular aesthetic goals.

For a large votive, you’ll need an E10 or E12 cotton core wick. These are designed to handle the larger surface area and ensure even burning.
