pink champagne & guava candles

Wooden wicks create a beautiful crackling sound as they burn - like a mini fireplace. However, they do require a little extra maintenance in between burns and need to be trimmed much shorter than cotton wicks. Cotton wicks give off a brighter flame and have self-trimming wicks so are considered less maintenance. If you prefer a dimly lit room, the ambient crackle and don't mind trimming your wick, give our wooden wicks a try. If you prefer a more traditional candle, cotton wicks are the way to go. 

Trimming your wick is ESSENTIAL. Imagine trying to light a fire in your fireplace with charred pieces of wood - you would struggle. Don't worry though - trimming your wick is easy! All you need to do is crack away the charred wood (just pinch it away with your fingers!) in between burns. Wooden wicks need to be trimmed shorter than cotton wicks so don't worry if the wick seems short. Please never dig wax away from the wick - this will prevent the candle from burning effectively.
