Which wick should I go for?
Wooden wicks create a beautiful crackling sound as they burn - like a mini fireplace. However, they do require a little extra maintenance in between burns and need to be trimmed much shorter than cotton wicks. Cotton wicks give off a brighter flame and have self-trimming wicks so are considered less maintenance. If you prefer a dimly lit room, the ambient crackle and don't mind trimming your wick, give our wooden wicks a try. If you prefer a more traditional candle, cotton wicks are the way to go.
Important information about using a wooden wick candle
Trimming your wick is ESSENTIAL. Imagine trying to light a fire in your fireplace with charred pieces of wood - you would struggle. Don't worry though - trimming your wick is easy! All you need to do is crack away the charred wood (just pinch it away with your fingers!) in between burns. Wooden wicks need to be trimmed shorter than cotton wicks so don't worry if the wick seems short. Please never dig wax away from the wick - this will prevent the candle from burning effectively. If you are struggling with your candle, please check out our Instagram for candle care tips or get in contact with us.

Product information
GENERAL
All products from NŌLA Candles are proudly handmade in small batches in our workshop in Wairarapa, New Zealand.
NŌLA Candles was founded when Liv struggled to obtain employment with a huge twin belly & so she created a job for herself. She now works diligently in efforts to remain a stay at home mum, squeezing emails and orders in between naps & manufacturing products after bedtime.
Noah & Isla came a little earlier than expected at 34 weeks gestation and so they spent some time in The Neonatal Unit in Wellington Hospital. Because of this, NŌLA has decided to donate 10% of profits to this charity in hopes of helping other families who had similar experiences.

WOODEN WICK CARE
When wooden wicks are having trouble staying lit, this is usually because the wick needs to be trimmed. If problems persist after the wick has been trimmed, please get in contact with us so we can figure out what's going wrong.
If the wick has been trimmed too short, the wax can drown out the flame. If you take a bit of paper towel/tissue and absorb some wax, this should allow the flame to thrive. Please be careful when doing this and do not place the tissue directly over the flame.
No fancy scissors required! Just pinch or crack the charred wood off. The best length is 1/4 of an inch or 5-6mm
Wooden wicks are a much more sustainable option than cotton wicks. Cotton required an astronomical amount of water during production; whereas one tree can produce thousands of wicks. Wooden wicks also burn cleaner, give off a better scent throw and create a cozy ambiance through the crackle sound they give off.
