BEADNOVA Braided Cotton Candle Wick 400 ft (2×200 ft) Unwaxed Raw Core for DIY Candles

BEADNOVA's braided cotton candle wick is a 400-foot raw, unwaxed cotton core supplied on two 200-ft spools for flexible, homemade candle projects.

If you make candles at home or in a small studio, having a long, consistent braided cotton wick gives you the freedom to cut the exact length you need for containers, pillars, or votives. This product from BEADNOVA delivers 122 meters (approximately 134 yards) of braided, uncoated cotton wick—ideal for crafters who want to wax and size their own cores to match different waxes and candle designs.

How do I prepare this raw braided wick before pouring wax?

Because the wick is supplied unwaxed, you should prime it with melted wax so the fibres bind and the wick seats properly in the candle. Dip or brush the braided wick with the same wax you plan to pour, let it cool and harden, then centre and secure it before adding hot wax.

• Cut lengths to match vessel depth plus 1/2" to 1" for trimming.
• Prime by dipping in melted wax or coating with a warm brush-on method.
• Cool fully on a non-stick surface before positioning in the mould or container.

What types of candles work best with this cotton core wick?

The braided cotton core is versatile and compatible with paraffin, soy, beeswax, and other blended waxes. Because you control the amount of priming wax and the wick length, it adapts to small votives up through medium-sized container candles and pillar forms when paired with the right wick size and testing.

• Suitable for container candles, pillars, and votives.
• Use wick-testing to match diameter and fragrance load for clean burn.
• Trim to desired thickness or braid layers for larger diameters if needed.

How much wick is included and how should I store it?

The package contains two spools of braided cotton wick, each about 200 feet long, for a total of roughly 400 feet (122 meters). Store the spools in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and to keep the fibres free from dust or oils.

• Two rolls at ~200 ft each; total ~400 ft (122 m / 134 yd).
• Keep wrapped or in sealed bags to protect from moisture and dust.
• Label spool lengths for quick access during projects.

Who is this for: This BEADNOVA braided cotton wick is made for candle hobbyists, small-batch makers, and DIY gift creators who prefer to control wick priming and length themselves. It’s particularly useful for people experimenting with different wax types or scent loads who need an affordable, generous supply of raw wick material to test, trim, and finish their own candles.
