About Wool and Wick
Wool and Wick Candles began with a simple idea—bottling the feeling of home. Founded in Feilding but deeply rooted in the rugged beauty of the Catlins, my candles are inspired by my childhood spent on a sheep and deer farm, where life was shaped by the rhythm of the land.
Wool and Wick Candles is more than a candle—it’s a flicker of nostalgia, a breath of fresh country air, and a reminder of life’s simple pleasures. Whether you're lighting one after a long day or gifting a piece of the countryside to someone you love, you are part of the story too.
Welcome to Wool and Wick Candles—where scent meets soul.
My Story
Hi, I’m Leonie—founder of Wool and Wick Candles
And I grew up on a farm in The Catlins. Tucked away in South Otago along the Southern Scenic Route, it's a place where nature still speaks loud and clear. This remote corner of New Zealand is raw, untouched, and deeply soulful.
It’s a land of contrasts: roaring southern swells meet quiet rolling farmland, while native bush stretches down to the sea. The air is fresh, the roads are quiet, and time slows right down. It’s the kind of place that stays with you—where childhood memories are stitched together.
Years later, I found myself in Feilding, with a longing to bring those moments back to life. That’s how Wool and Wick Candles was born—a candle brand built on memory, honesty, and a deep love for the land.
Each candle I make is hand-poured using natural soy wax and clean, eco-friendly ingredients with a deep appreciation for nature and a commitment to sustainability.
Benefits of Soy Wax
Soy wax is a natural and renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly choice for candle making. Unlike paraffin wax, soy wax burns cleaner and produces less soot, ensuring a healthier and more enjoyable candle experience. By choosing soy wax candles, you not only support sustainable practices but also enjoy a more fragrant and longer-lasting burn.
Handcrafted Elegance
My candles are individually crafted to perfection, reflecting the artistry and attention to detail that sets Wool and Wick Candles apart. Each candle is infused with luxurious scents, making them a beautiful addition to any home decor. Experience the warmth and charm of our handcrafted candles today.
