Wooden wicks candles are a great alternative to traditional cotton wicks, and they are a good complement to our handmade candles. Our premium, natural double wood wicks are made from 100% wood and are an eco-friendly and sustainable product. Each wooden wick candle burns cleanly and disperses fragrance excellently and are prized for their unique aesthetic and sensory experience. These wicks also create an enhanced atmosphere with a soft, relaxing crackle sound known as the wood wick candles crackle, similar to that of a log fire.

Eco-friendly and sustainable products are important to us and that is why we choose soy wax (or other plant-based waxes) and wooden wicks for our candles. All our soy candles are handmade, and hand poured by us at our FelinFach Studio in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.
A Chandler...? "a candle chandler is a maker and seller of wax candles and also soap".
We are a modern-day candle chandler. We hand pour candles with wooden wicks but also other fragrance items such as reed diffusers, tealights and wax melts. Our eco-friendly candles, tealights and wax melts are made from sustainable plant-based candle waxes such as soy wax. All candles are shipped in plastic free, recyclable packaging with carbon neutral shipping emissions.
There are three main types of wooden wicks - single-ply, booster, and spiral. Single-ply wicks are used in paraffin wax candles - we do not make any paraffin wax candles. Booster or double wicks work well with natural waxes such as soy wax candles and we use the booster wooden wicks for a cleaner longer burn. Spiral wicks work with all waxes and produce a lot of heat. - currently we do not use spiral wooden wicks.
These wood wicks contain no paraffin, lead or any other toxic chemicals. They are 100% wood and non-toxic
Wooden wick candles are designed to heat your wax evenly, allowing you to get the most out of your candle. Our candles flame equally on all sides, giving you a clean and even burn. This means that you won't have to worry about the candle burning unevenly and leaving a wax residue on the sides of the container. Wooden wick candles make 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.
Wooden wick candles burn at a slower rate than cotton wicks. Comparing a wooden wick candle to one with a cotton wick under equal conditions, these candle burns more slowly allowing you can enjoy your candle for a longer period.
Like a log fire, wooden wick candles generate a gentle, soothing crackling sound as they burn, the so-called wood wick candle crackle! This together with natural flame of your candle creates a super relaxing environment whilst burning your candle. The cut of a wooden wick gives your candle a distinctive modern feel, further adding to the improved ambiance of any room. You just don’t get this with a cotton wick.
Our wooden wicks are what they say, that is 100% wood. They are eco-friendly and sustainable products sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) mills. Wooden 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.
Lastly and maybe not least, and very subjectively (!!!) we believe that these candles look more pleasing to the eye than a similar candle with a cotton wick. Its aesthetic appeal as wooden wick candles are known for adding a touch of elegance to any room. The crackling sound they produce while burning also adds to the ambiance, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
