Description
These twist candles come as a pack of 12 slim white spirals in 100% paraffin. Each one is 1.2cm across and 11cm tall, so they are small, slender candles rather than full-length dinner candles, and they suit little holders made for thin candles. The spiral runs most of the length and ends in a short plain section at the base that sits in the holder, while the top narrows neatly to the wick. The wax has a gentle gloss, so each twist catches the light along its length.
Each candle burns for one hour and, as the maker describes it, is self-extinguishing, so they suit shorter moments rather than a long evening: a birthday celebration, a festive window sill, or a dining table lined with small holders. With twelve in the pack there are enough to dot along a mantelpiece or share between several holders at once, and a few tied together with string make a thoughtful small gift. White sits easily with almost any scheme, from metallic trays and holders to natural wood, so they work as well in a living room as in a dining room or on a hallway console.
The candles are made from 100% paraffin, the classic candle wax, and each has a 100% cotton wick. The spiral is twisted by hand rather than left as a straight taper, which gives these candles their rippled outline. The styling props shown are not included. For the neatest look, choose holders with a narrow socket sized for slim candles, and group them in twos and threes along a tray, a shelf or a window sill so the twists read clearly against the light.

Frequently Asked
What material are the candles?
They are made from 100% paraffin, with a 100% cotton wick in each candle, and every spiral is twisted by hand.
How big are the candles?
Each candle is 1.2cm across and 11cm tall, so they are slim and short and sit best in small holders made for thin candles.
How long does each candle burn?
Each candle has a burn time of one hour, and the maker describes them as self-extinguishing.
How many candles come in the pack?
There are 12 candles in the pack, all white and each with a hand-twisted spiral along its length.
What kind of holder do they need?
At 1.2cm across they need a holder with a narrow socket made for slim candles, as a wide socket would leave them loose.

No. The pack holds 12 twist candles only; the holders and the other styling props shown are not included.
