Candle Wicks & Wicking
Wick Selection can be confusing and overwhelming at first. Choose the wick type of you need according to the wax you are using and type of candle you are making.
Click here for our complete Wick Usage Chart by wax type.
How to Purchase Wicks
All of our wicking is available raw (plain or uncoated), primed (wax-coated), and pre-tabbed in stock sizes or custom assemblies. We have organized our wick selection by wick type, which should match the wax, soy, or gel product you are using. Unfortunately, there is no wick that is good for every application, so you will need different wick sizes for different candle sizes and types.
Choose your wick type
Please read through our product descriptions and usage charts for guidelines. Each wick description will provide recommendations for wax types and candle sizes as a basic guideline for your selection.
Raw - plain with no wax coating on a 100 ft. or 500 ft. spool. Perfect for the candle maker who prefers to prime their own wick or make their candles with an unprimed wick.
Pre-tabbed Wick Assemblies - Primed, cut, and tabbed for the ultimate in convenience. Our pre-tabbed, primed wicks are incredibly convenient and fast. A must for any candle maker! Just attach your wick to the bottom of your jar and pour your wax.
Custom Wicks - Custom pre-tabbed wick assemblies are also available and are a great option for candle makers who need a special-size wick that is not available in our stock wick configurations. The minimum order for custom wicks is 1,000 pieces per size and style.
