Best Candle Making Wicks of 2025

"I've ordered these several times and really like these wicks. I'm definitely going to place more orders!"

"I liked them and used them immediately upon receiving."

"These wicks are of nice quality and worked well for my needs."

"I make my own candles and have never been let down by these wicks. They burn very clean and are easy to put into melted wax. Great value for the amount you get!"

"I purchased these candle wicks with high hopes, but I am thoroughly disappointed with their performance. Failed to fully melt a 2.5-inch candle, leaving me with a frustrating, uneven burn. I cannot recommend these wicks to anyone seeking quality."

"My experience with the EricX Light wicks has been a journey of mixed emotions. They promised ease of use and delivered on that to an extent. Consistent burning and natural materials were highlights, but the uneven wax coating was a drawback."

“I found the CandMak Candle Wick Kit to be a fantastic choice for my first candle-making experience. The 60 high-quality cotton wicks in various sizes made everything easy and enjoyable!”

“As a beginner, I was pleasantly surprised. The kit was so helpful that my first candle came out perfect, making me feel confident in this new hobby!”

“My kids wanted to make candles for holiday gifts, and I chose this kit based on decent reviews. The candles burn pretty well, which has made our limited experience quite satisfying!”

"This was my first experience with wooden wicks, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and length. The crackling sound is delightful, and after making three candles, I'm very pleased overall. I would definitely recommend this product."

"I've always been curious about wood wick candles, but I heard mixed things. After soaking the wicks in avocado oil overnight, my candles turned out amazing! I don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular wicks."

"I wanted to switch wicks due to poor burning in my previous candles. After learning to soak the wick in oil, my second attempt was much better. I love the crackle sound it makes, reminiscent of a cozy fireplace."

"I'm not sure what to say. They are wicks. I bought them to replace 3 wicks in one of my candles. I melted the wax, pulled out the old wicks, and tried to put 3 of these in but learned the hard way that that is not how to do this. The wax melted off the wicks as I tried to drop them in, leaving me with limp string. Totally user error. Next time, I'll melt the wax, pour it into another container, place the new wicks, then pour the wax into the candle vessel. In summary, the wicks are fine. My candle making talents? Not so much."

"I had so much old recycled wax and wanted to make candles at home. These were super great, and my candles turned out awesome. I will definitely order these again when I run out. The wick also burns well."

"I use these wicks and cut them into 1/3s to put into egg cartons with sawdust and wax to make really easy and effective fire starters. This is the perfect price and quality for my application!"

"These wicks are amazing! I'm having a blast making candles with them!"

"I was thrilled with how quickly they arrived. These wicks burn forever! I'm really pleased with my purchase!"

"Re-wicking my candle was a breeze! The wicks fit perfectly and burn cleaner than the originals."

“I’m crafting candles as holiday gifts for my loved ones, and this set is fantastic. I truly appreciate the three size options and how easy they are to handle. The candles burn cleanly and look impressive. I definitely recommend these!”

“My wife enjoys making candles as a hobby, and these wicks have been great for her. They worked well, and she was so pleased that she wanted to get more. They are definitely worth the investment!”

“I’ve only previously used one size wick and often had to cut off excess, which felt wasteful. Now, I’m delighted to have plenty of options with this set!”

"I absolutely dislike throwing out candles that still have wax left. This product solved that issue for me! I simply dug some holes in the remaining wax and inserted a few wick strips. It worked perfectly."

"I recommend this for narrow tapers, not exceeding 3/4" in diameter. For larger sizes or pillars, I twisted two strands together, and it worked well for me."

"I’m not an expert in candle making, but I found that this candle wick, combined with a candle warmer, allows me to reuse and recycle. I was pleasantly surprised to discover there’s 200 feet on the roll! It’s inexpensive, does the job, and even as a picky person, I’m satisfied with it."

"I found that these wicks worked like a charm when I redid some candles that were almost out."

"I really appreciate the stickers that hold the wicks in place, but I noticed that the wicks sagged a bit when I poured the wax."

"I melted down my old candles to give them new life instead of throwing them away, and it worked great!"

"I bought a candle making kit for my daughter for Christmas, but it didn't come with wicks. I found these on Amazon at a great price. The wicks are nice and long, burning as expected. I will definitely buy from this seller again!"

"When I made my candle using these wicks, I thought they would perform like the original three-wick candles. However, they got smothered in melted wax and burned out quickly. I also had to use double-sided tape to keep them from floating, which was a bit tricky. Still, for the low price, they might be worth a try!"

"I've been into candle making since COVID, and these wicks have been fantastic. For the price, they are unbeatable—100 perfect wicks! I melted down some old citronella candles and created new ones easily. They catch fire well and burn nicely!"
