Firstly…What are they?
Hemp wicks are very simple, they are hemp fibers made into a twine which is then coated in beeswax.

Advantages of Hemp Wicks
The reasons why hemp wicks are good for homemade candles is numerous so let’s touch on some of them below:
More Natural
Made from 100% organic hemp fibers means they are the natural alternative to traditional cotton wicks. Hemp fibers are very dry so emit little smoke.
Smooth Burn
Hemp burns very easily so the beeswax is applied to slow down the burn, inturn it results in a consistent burn at a very reliable pace.
Pleasant Scent
Because there is nothing unnatural here, just the hemp and beeswax and then your candle wax there are very little conflicting smells. The hemp does not smell like marijuana but instead just has a natural smell which is dominated by the pleasant smell of the natural beeswax.
Strength
Hemp was traditionally used for the rope of all the rigging on the old ships of explorers and powerful navys due to its high strength to weight ratio. Although in a simple candle you don’t need much strength from a wick it does mean it will not break or snap rendering the candle useless.
Maluable
Due to the high strength the twine is quite thin making it very maluable and easy to work with. The beeswax on it means it keeps whatever shape you set it to, this is great when making your candles as the wick will stay set exactly where you want it to be.
Waterproof
Having the wax coating over the wick means it is completely waterproof and ready to be lit directly after being submerged. This is why campers love it in their kit. If backcountry campers have no trouble lighting them in rain and snow you can imagine how easy they are to start in your own home.
