Cotton Core Candle Wicks – Uncoated (Small, Medium, Large, XL)
Description:
Our Cotton Core Wicks (Uncoated) are high-quality, flat-braided wicks with a natural cotton outer and a solid cotton core, providing excellent rigidity and a stable burn. Sold uncoated and untabbed, these wicks are ideal for candle makers who prefer to wax and cut their own wicks.
