performance cotton wicks
The search for the perfect cotton wick is over. Advanced, patented technology gives these wicks burn-efits like you’ve never seen before. The tightly knitted core is made with a biodegradable, plant-based fiber that provides a consistent burn every time and holds a rigid structure, keeping the wick upright as you pour. Once lit, this performance cotton wick begins to curl as it burns, preventing a carbon ball buildup, and self-trims to keep the ideal height with each burn. Pair this with our Wick Centering Device to perfectly center your wicks.
Be sure to conduct a burn test when altering any aspect of your candle to ensure optimal wick performance. Check our Wick Selection Guide to find the right wick for your candle-making project.
Sold in sets of 12 and 100. Available in 6in and 10in heights. Important note: 10in heights are last-chance items and are being discontinued. Stock up before it’s gone!

"After testing a dozen other cotton wick brands and hundreds of dollars later. I purchased these and they exceeded my expection. I just needed to wick down to 75 but they were out of stock when I purchased these. But they working amazingly with Makesy coconut soy blend wax and the hot throw is fantastic."

Q&A
- Are wick stickers available for cotton wicks?
- HI Lala, Yes, you can use the wick stickers for cotton wicks.
- Is it okay to use these cotton wicks with the Coconut Apricot candle wax? I noticed the recommended pouring is under 170-175F, to avoid separation from the sustainer.
- HI there, Yes, those wicks can be used with that wax. Here is a chart to help you determine which size to test with. https://makesy.com/pages/cotton-wick-sizing-chart
- I advertise 100% soy wax and just realized these wicks are coated in paraffin wax. Does that mean I can no longer say my candles are 100% soy?
- HI Morgan, You can still label them as 100% soy :)
- Which size should I get with a 7 oz vessel?
- HI Maria, It depends on your wax type and vessel diameter! https://makesy.com/pages/cotton-wick-sizing-chart https://makesy.com/pages/makesy-wick-selection-guide
- Why does my coco soy blend candle have a slight dip in the center? Pouring and mixing at 180
- Hi Stephanie, That's an easy fix. Just go over it with a heat gun!
