Pick the Wick

"Wick selection is probably the most important decision of the candle maker. It is imperative to select the correct wick so the candle will burn slowly with an even flame and minimal smoke and soot." This information is vital and I found it at Candlewic.com
This site, as well as others have a wealth of information on candle-making. This is the information I should have paid really close attention to in my first attempts...as I said, I'm an impatient person.

Wick type is probably the most difficult decision to make as there are many types to choose from. Here's a link to Candlewic's recommended wick types based on type of candle. At first glance the Wick Table looks a little daunting...at least it did to me. I hope you will understand it better than I did! I'm going to start out with a wick sample pack and do some experimenting. Results will be posted at a later date.
