High quality waxed wicks with a metal base, Stabilo series, manufactured in the Wedo factory in Germany. They can be used for both container and pillar candles. Perfectly suitable for vegetable waxes (soy, coconut, olive), as well as paraffin.
Stabilo wicks are 10 cm long, coreless, directionless, flat braided wicks around which a special paper fiber is woven. Sold by the piece.
Each wick has a certain number of threads, indicated by the number in the wick name. The higher the number, the larger the diameter of the candle this wick is meant for. The diameter refers to the size of the wax pool that will form around the wick as the candle burns. The actual diameter depends on the wax material, the manufacturer, the added flavors and colors, and the preparation process. See indicative diameters below.
