Pure Cotton Wick Square Braided for Beeswax

Our Square Braided Pure Cotton Wick is a premium, all-natural wick designed to deliver a clean, consistent, and reliable burn across a wide range of candle styles. Featuring a durable square braid, this wick maintains a steady upright position and provides excellent capillary flow—making it ideal for use in moulded or rolled beeswax candles, and perfect for beeswax tealights.

Crafted from 100% pure cotton, this wick is free from metal cores, synthetic fibers, or chemical treatments, ensuring a non-toxic, eco-friendly flame. The square braid is designed to curl slightly while burning, promoting self-trimming and helping to reduce mushrooming, soot, and smoke.

Thanks to its open weave and rigid structure, the wick efficiently draws up even thick waxes like beeswax, coconut, or soy, resulting in a bright, stable flame with minimal afterglow. This makes it a versatile choice for candle makers working with beeswax or any other type of wax, including soy, coconut, paraffin, or blends.

We’ve fully tested wick performance with our own BEE Zero Waste pure beeswax, and recommend the following:

#6/0 - perfect for slim taper candles up to 7 mm 

#1/0 and #2/0 wicks are perfect for beeswax tealights, and candles up to 40 mm 

#1 is ideal for candles with a diameter of up to 50 mm

#4 is great for candles with a diameter of up to 60 mm
