This is the cotton wick most commonly used in rolled and poured candles. If your candle smokes, the wick is too large. If it drips, the wick is too small. All wick is available in 5 METRE (16.5 feet) packages or SPOOLS (see below for sizes).
#5/0 is the smallest diameter wick, and #16 is the largest wick. The most common wick for average size diameter rolled candles (about 1 inch) is #1/0.
