Wood Wick

Wood wicks are a type of candle wick made from actual wood instead of cotton or other natural or synthetic material. They create a unique crackling sound when burning down, similar to the sound of a wood crackling in a robust fire at a home fireplace or outdoor campfire.

What is a Wood Wick?

A wood wick is a thin or thin-medium gauge wick made from typically a hardwood such as cherry or maple. They serve the same purpose as a traditional candle wick and are generally fitted for the candle at the same height as a traditional wick. They are used to make a specific type of candle, often referred to as woodwick candles. These wooden candle wicks come in various sizes and shapes and can be used in all types of candles, including jar candles, pillar candles, woodwick soy candles, votives and tealights. No matter the size of the candle, the sound of crackle wick candles promotes a sense of relaxation.

What are the Benefits of Using Wood Wick for Candles?

There are multiple reasons why wooden candle wicks are gaining popularity with candlemakers and candle consumers around the world. Wood wicks produce a more even burn than the standard cotton wicks, which allows the candle to be enjoyed longer. A more even burn allows for longer burning times and better scent throw than traditional wick candles.. Another benefit of using wood wicks is that they provide a virtually smokeless flame, making them cleaner, safer and more aesthetically pleasant to use than traditional wicks. They are also more eco-friendly since they are made from natural wood, produce a lower flame which promotes fire safety and create a unique ambiance because of the crackling sound when burning. Woodwick crackling candles can instantly warm up any space and be a conversation starter.
