candlewicks
Burning string cores
Candlewicks are the strings or cords at the center of candles that carry flame.
The wick draws melted wax upward through capillary action, providing fuel for the fire.
Candlewick also names a type of cotton embroidery or bedspread featuring tufted patterns that resemble the texture of braided wicks.
