Customisable Length: Simply cut to your desired length — ideal for small tea lights, medium jar candles, or large pillar candles.

How to Use

Cut the cotton wick to your desired length, leaving a little extra at the top.
Dip or coat the wick in your chosen melted wax (wax-priming) and allow it to set — this helps the wick stand upright and improves burn quality.
Secure the primed wick to the base of your candle container using a wick sticker or a small amount of wax.
Hold the wick straight with a wick bar or pencil, then pour your melted wax and allow it to fully cure before trimming the wick to approximately 6mm (¼ inch).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sizes of candles are these cotton wicks suitable for?

A: These ECO cotton candle wicks are suitable for a wide range of candle sizes. The 21–45 thread count range means you can choose thinner threads for small tea lights and votives, or thicker braids for medium to large container and pillar candles. Simply cut the wick to the length you need from the bulk roll.

Q: Do I need to wax the wick before using it?

A: Yes — these are unwaxed cotton wicks, so it is recommended to prime them by dipping or coating them in melted wax before use. Priming the wick helps it stand upright in the mould or container and ensures a cleaner, more even burn once the candle is lit.

Q: Are these wicks compatible with soy wax and beeswax?

A: Absolutely. These cotton candle wicks are universally compatible with all common wax types, including paraffin wax, soy wax, beeswax, coconut wax, gel wax, and blended waxes. They are a great all-purpose choice for any DIY candle-making project.

Q: How much wick do I get per roll?

A: Each roll comes in either a 50m or a 61m length, giving you plenty of wick for multiple candle-making batches. The generous bulk-roll format offers excellent value whether you are a casual crafter or a more prolific candle maker.
