Cotton Wicks for Candles and Lamps

Q: What thickness wick should I choose for a candle?

For small tea light candles we recommend a 2.5 mm wick. For medium candles 3 mm is suitable. For large decorative candles or paraffin lamps use 6 mm. The correct thickness ensures even burning and minimal smoking.

Q: How does a wick work in a self-watering pot?

A cotton wick uses capillary action — it draws water from a reservoir and transports it directly to the plant roots. The system works automatically and delivers water precisely according to the plant's needs, without the risk of overwatering.

Wicks from 100% natural cotton — high oil absorption, stable flame, diameters 2.5–6 mm. Suitable for oil lamps, candles and self-watering plant pots. Sold by the metre, packs of 250–1000 m, competitive prices direct from manufacturer KMIŤ s.r.o.

Available products

We offer wicks in three standard diameters. Each is made from 100% natural cotton with excellent oil absorption.

Wick – diameter 2.5 mm — tea lights, small candles
Wick – diameter 3 mm — lamps, medium candles
Wick – diameter 6 mm — paraffin lamps, large candles

Oil and paraffin lamps

Lamp wicks ensure a stable flame and efficient burning. A cotton wick absorbs oil or paraffin well and maintains an even flame without excessive smoking. Recommended diameters: 3 mm and 6 mm.

Candles and decorations

Cotton candle wicks ensure even burning and minimal smoking. Suitable for making candles in all shapes and sizes — from tea lights to large decorative pillar candles. For smaller candles we recommend 2.5 mm; for larger ones 3–6 mm.

Self-watering plant pots

Wicks for self-watering plant pots use the capillary action of cotton — they precisely deliver water from the reservoir directly to the plant roots. This ensures healthy growth without overwatering, even during extended absences. Recommended diameters: 2.5–3 mm.
