The right size of your wick determines how cleanly your candle burns. With this calculator you can easily determine which wick size is recommended for your desired candle. Enter the widest diameter of your candle in mm. Please note that the information from this calculator is only recommendations and not binding information that guarantees that your candle burns cleanly, as there are many small details in the production process that determine success or failure when making candles.

Making sustainable candles yourself is a great hobby. To help you get started, we have written clear instructions to help you achieve your desired result quickly and easily. Choosing the right wicks prevents your candle from burning incorrectly. Our wooden wicks are made from FSC-certified beech wood and are easy to use for making your own candles. The wooden wicks are untreated and should be soaked in oil before use. Our cotton wicks with a base are pre-waxed and can be used immediately. Thanks to a paper thread, the cotton wick is ideal for absorbing the melted wax and burns reliably. When using scented oils and/or candle dyes, we recommend choosing a wick size larger to prevent the wick from becoming clogged and making it difficult for the candle to burn.
