100% Cotton Wicks · M Series
100% Cotton Wicks
Pre-tabbed, wax-coated 100% cotton wicks in six sizes, from M25 for small votives to M75 for wide jars. One 150mm wick length across the range, so you choose on vessel diameter alone.
100% Cotton
Pre-Tabbed
Wax Coated
The M series is Wickii's flat braided cotton wick, supplied pre-tabbed with a thin wax coating so it is ready to use straight out of the bag. Every size shares the same 150mm wick length, so you choose purely on the diameter of the candle you are pouring.
Use the size guide to match a wick to the inside diameter of your vessel, then pick your pack size. Sizes run from M25 for small votives up to M75 for wide statement jars.

Burn diameters are tested in soy wax and are a starting point only. Burn behaviour shifts with wax type, fragrance load, dye and vessel shape, so always test before a full batch. For a vessel between 40mm and 45mm, test M25 and M35 side by side.
The jar column shows the Wickii vessel that lands in each range: the Ascot (65mm inside), Cosmo Tin (80mm) and Luna (88mm) carry these wick sizes in their own product notes. The Regent at 100mm sits inside the M75 range, and at that width a double wick is worth testing against a single.
frequently asked
Which wick size do I need?
Match the wick to the inside diameter of your vessel using the guide above. If your vessel falls between two sizes, or sits in the 40mm to 45mm gap, test one candle with each and compare the melt pool after a full first burn.
Pouring into a Wickii jar? The Ascot takes M45, the Cosmo Tin takes M55 and the Luna takes M65. The Regent is 100mm across, so start with M75 and test a double wick if the melt pool stalls.
A correctly sized wick reaches the glass within about two to three hours on the first burn without the flame running tall or sooting.
M series or Eco series?
The M series is the all-rounder. It handles soy, beeswax, palm and paraffin, which makes it the safer starting point if you pour more than one wax.
The Eco series is built specifically for natural soy and coconut blends and is self-trimming, so it tends to run cleaner in those waxes. If you pour soy or coco-soy only, test both and keep the one your wax prefers.
Do I need to prime these wicks?
No. They arrive with a thin wax coating and already crimped to a sustainer tab, so they are ready to centre and pour around.
How do I keep the wick centred?
Stick the tab to the base of your vessel with a dab of Stickums, then hold the top steady with a wooden wick holder while the wax sets.
How do I stop mushrooming and soot?
Mushrooming usually means the wick is one size too large for the vessel, or the fragrance load is high. Size down and trim to about 5mm before every burn. Always retest after changing wax, fragrance or dye.
Can I use these for pillar candles?
These are tabbed container wicks, so they suit candles poured into a jar or tin. For pillars and moulded candles use the uncoated braided pillar wick, which is sold by the metre and cut to your mould.

My fav wicks
Great size and quality product
Perfect, as described
Burn well, and diameter burn info perfect.
Perfect wicks for what i needed. 100% recommend
I have had a lot of trouble with wick sooting and with this lot of wicks have not noticed any at all.
Quality of wicks decreased after change of ownership. New supplier maybe? The wicks tunnel even when using the right size, and burning for a number of hours. Packaging also went from nice zip lock bags, to crinkly plastic bag with annoying sticky flap closure.
Great burn, exactly what I needed
Service was good as well as information
Perfect for my candle jars. I really rate these M series range.

These are great!
Love the burn on these and strong hold
Wick sizing is a guide only. Always test your specific wax, fragrance load, dye and vessel, as the ideal size can shift between recipes.
