I prefer hemp wicks to everything else

Hemp wicks offer many advantages over cotton wicks. Without getting into the nasty side of things, hemp is far more environmentally friendly to harvest than cotton, if that matters to you. 1 hectare of hemp can produce up to 2-3 hectares of cotton, hemp requires less water and less fertilizer. Finally, it does not require herbicides or pesticides. If these things don't bother you, hemp burns slower than cotton in relation to the actual candle you attach it to, it burns hotter, and it's stiffer than the typical cotton wicks you can buy. Many people think that wicks are just a small part of a candle, but a bad wick can easily ruin an entire candle, whether it burns before the wax melts, crumbles under heat, or doesn't heat up evenly. Sales through the bank. I've never had a bad experience with hemp wicks and most of my candles use them. This particular brand makes a beautiful pre-waxed hemp wick. A nickel sized base in case you're looking for sticky stickers to apply. The typical stickers that EricX sells fit well.
