FLAT BRAIDED COTTON WICKS

Flat braided cotton wicks are made of 100% cotton yarn. Flat wicks are very consistent in burning and curl in the flame for a self-trimming effect. They are low smoke, even burn, short afterglow, clean burn and long burn hours. They are the most versatile wicks used in all types of candle applications.

Flat braided cotton wicks include tight braided wicks and loose braided wicks. Tight braided candle wicks are five spindle. They are widely used in tealights, votives, pillars and containers. Loose braided candle wicks are three spindle. They are used in tapers, dinners, churches, pillar candles and shaped candles. Flat braided cotton wicks burn well in paraffin wax candles.
