Candle wicks
No candle can burn without a wick. With a good wick, the candle will burn long and evenly. In candle making, two types are used cotton wicks and wooden wicks.
Types of wicks for natural candles: cotton wicks or wooden wicks
Cotton wicks should be dense, woven. In this case, the candle will burn evenly and brightly. Wicks are distinguished by diameter, that is, the thicker your candle, the thicker the wick should be. Also cotton wicks can be made of white thread, or of bark thread, which fits perfectly into the general theme of natural candles. Often all cotton wicks are pre-treated with wax.
Wooden wick gives the candle exclusivity and makes it expensive and unusual. Such wicks when burning emit a characteristic crackling sound, as if a fire or wood in the fireplace is burning. Wooden wicks differ in height and width, and in Beurre store you can buy special wicks for candles like WoodWick: a big long wick with holes in it, which burns for a very long time and crackles while burning.
At the end of each wick there is a special retainer, which is placed at the bottom of the candle container. For convenience, in the Beurre store you can buy double-sided stickers for fixing candle wicks. In this case, when pouring wax into the container, your wick will remain in its place.
