LX 28 6" Pretabbed Candle Wick
Choose a Variant

Product Update:

You may see some variation in the wax coating on the wick due to different coating processes. The variance of the wax coating on the wick has no impact on the burn of the candle.

About the LX Series
LX wick is a specially braided flat cotton wick which maintains a slight curl when burning. The curl moves the tip of the wick into the hottest part of the flame, which helps to minimize or eliminate carbon buildup (mushrooming), reduce smoking, and provide a 'self-trimming' effect, which creates a very stable and consistent flame. LX wicks are lead and zinc free.

For help choosing the right wick for your candle, visit our wick guide.

Conveniently secure your wicks with Wick Stickers (large) or Wick Stickers Pro.

Great for large jars

I love the way LX wicks burn. Especially for wicking larger jars I've had the best luck finding the right size with LX wicks than any other brand.

LX 28 WICKS

This wick works perfectly in my 9oz jars, flame is strong and melts entire wax pool. I also like that it is easy to trim when needed because wick doesn't mushroom and split apart.
