Handmade Candles
We are delighted to announce a new product range, handmade candles, hand poured by us in the Felinfach Chandlery Studio in Pembrokeshire, Wales. These handmade candles are Plastic Free - the wax, the labels, the packaging and void fill are all recyclable or biodegradable.
Our handmade Welsh candles are made in small batches using the finest quality 100% natural soy wax, infused with a blend of premium high-grade fragrance & essential oil recipes. Fragrance memory is quite a strong and evocative sense and we have named our candles for a feeling or place that we think the fragrance captures. Hand poured in Wales, a Welsh candle product.
Our candles are poured in a heavy bottomed straight sided matt Grey or matt White glass container topped with an oak lid that can also be used as a coaster for your candle when burning. We use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) wood wicks as they are sustainable and have a lovely soft crackling sound when burning. Each handmade candle is packaged in a sturdy gift box that can be reused for bits and bobs or be a ready packaged gift for a friend or loved one!
We do not use dyes, parabens or additives and our products are rated vegan.

Handmade Candles - Wood Wicks
Wood wick candles are a great alternative to traditional cotton wicks and they are a good compliment to our handmade soy wax candles. Our premier natural double wood wicks are an eco-friendly and sustainable product. Our wood wick candles burn cleanly and disperse fragrance excellently. Wood wicks also create an enhanced atmosphere with a soft, relaxing crackle sound similar to that of a log fire.
Benefits of Wood Wick Handmade Candles
-
Types of wood wicks
There are three main types of wood wicks - single-ply, booster, and spiral. Single-ply wicks are used in paraffin wax candles - we do not have any paraffin wax candles in our store. Booster or double wicks work well with natural waxes such as soy wax candles - all our candles are soy wax and we use the booster wood wicks for a cleaner longer burn. Spiral wicks work with all waxes and produce a lot of heat. - currently we do not use spiral wood wicks
-
Clean and Even Burn
Wood wick candles heat your wax evenly, allowing you to get the most out of your candle. Our wood wick candles flame equally on all sides, giving you a clean and even burn. Wood wick candles make considerably less soot than conventional wicks. Before each burn, trim off the charred part of the wick and you’ll have a clean, bright and even burn every time.
-
Wood Wicks Last Longer
Wood wick candles burn at a slower rate than cotton wicks. Comparing a wood wick candle to one with a cotton wick under equal conditions, the wood wick candle burns more slowly and will last longer.
-
Light and Sound
Similar to a log fire, wood wick candles generates gentle, soothing crackling sounds as they burn. This together with natural flame of your candle creates a super relaxing environment whilst burning your candle. The cut of a wood wick gives your candle a distinctive modern flame feel, further adding to the improved ambiance of any room. You just don’t get this with a cotton wick.
-
Sustainable Sourced
Our wood wicks are what they say, that is 100% wood. They are eco-friendly and sustainable products sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) mills. Wood wicks are more sustainable than cotton wicks, as they can be harvested with sustainable forestry methods, with thousands and thousands of wood wicks coming from a single tree.
-
Look and Feel
Lastly and maybe not least, and very subjectively (!!!) we believe that FelinFach wood wick candles look more pleasing to the eye than a similar candle with a cotton wick.
