About Wool and Wick

At Wool and Wick, we handcraft candles inspired by country living and childhood memories on the land. Every candle is made with care using the best quality soy wax, eco-friendly, zinc-free wicks, and thoughtfully chosen reusable vessels — because we believe beautiful fragrance shouldn’t cost the earth. From paddock to porch, our candles are designed to warm your space and your spirit. Our candles are individually hand-poured with care and attention to detail, ensuring a superior product for you.

Welcome to Wool and Wick Candles—where scent meets soul.

Our 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

Our candles are individually crafted to perfection, reflecting the artistry and attention to detail that sets Wool and Wick Candles apart. We do not use any additives in our candle wax they are 100% soy wax with each candle infused with luxurious fragrance oils, making them a beautiful addition to any home decor.
