Best Hemp Wicks for Candles
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Hemp wicks are usually sold beeswax coated and are best known for lighting other things, but they do appear in candle making, mostly in natural and beeswax candles. Coating thickness, ply count and stiffness drive how they behave. Hemp tends to burn hot and fast for its diameter and can throw more ash than cotton, so it suits some waxes far better than others. We looked at coating consistency, ply and diameter options, stiffness for self supporting pours, ash and soot across a full burn, and how honest each listing was about candle use. Makers pouring all natural beeswax candles are the main audience. Anyone working with soft soy containers will likely be happier on cotton. Hemp is unforgiving, so test wick sizing against your wax, vessel and fragrance.
