Yaley candle wicking is available in two types: bleached and wire. Wire core wick is made by braiding prepared cotton around a zinc, lead-free core. As the wick burns, the metal melts into very small droplets and rests in the molten pool of wax. Bleached wick is prepared wick having four sides. It is easy to work with and will not bend over as it burns.
