Hemp is a strong natural fiber which makes wicks rigid and stand up much easier than a cotton wick! These wicks contain absolutely no lead, are not chemically treated, and are braided with pure, unbleached cotton grown in the USA!

These wicks all come raw. They are NOT wax primed, cut or tabbed. Each Spool weighs 1 pound.

*Hemp Core Wicks are tested and sized based on use in a Straight Paraffin Wax with No Additives. Wicking is based on the WIDEST area diameter of the candle you plan to make. This is typically not measured at the opening unless the container is perfectly straight up and down.

We can not guarantee any certain wick to work best in any application because of the many variables involved. But we can get you started on the right track! The only way to determine the appropriate wick selection is through experimentation. Test burning will be necessary to determine the best wicks for your candles!
