Who We Are

Kia ora, I’m Leonie — the creator behind Wool and Wick.

Welcome to our little corner of rural Aotearoa, where life moves gently, the air smells of fresh paddocks and wildflowers, and every candle is poured with intention. Our brand was born from a love of country living, boho creativity, and the nostalgic charm of classic Kiwiana — the enamel mugs, the wool blankets, the gumboots by the door, the warmth of a farmhouse kitchen.

We hand‑pour each candle in small batches, using natural ingredients and scents inspired by the places and moments that make New Zealand feel like home. From earthy woods to soft florals and cosy comfort blends, every fragrance is crafted to capture a slice of rural Kiwi life — the golden light over the paddocks, the crackle of a winter fire, the sweetness of wild honey, the calm of a quiet country morning.

Our style blends rustic textures with boho soul: warm woods, dried florals, flax tones, and soft, earthy colours. It’s a celebration of simple living, creativity, and the beauty found in everyday moments.

Whether you’re lighting a candle to unwind, to warm your home, or to gift a little piece of Aotearoa to someone you love, we’re grateful you’re here. From our rural workshop to your home — thank you for supporting local, handcrafted, Kiwi‑made goodness.

Wool and Wick is more than a candle brand.
It’s the scent of stories — made to be shared, remembered, and lived.

Why Soy Wax & Why It Matters

 

🌿 Natural Ingredients, Honest Craft

We choose natural soy wax because it aligns with our belief in simple, honest, down‑to‑earth craftsmanship. Just like rural Kiwi living, we keep things pure, uncomplicated, and close to nature.

🔥 Cleaner Burn, Healthier Home

Soy wax burns cleaner and produces less soot, helping keep your home’s air fresher. Our candles are made to bring warmth and comfort — never toxins or harsh chemicals.

🕯️ Longer‑Lasting Glow

We value slow living, and soy wax reflects that beautifully. Its slower burn time means you get more hours of soft, cosy light — perfect for quiet evenings, country kitchens, and boho corners of your home.

🥝 Proudly Eco‑Friendly

Sustainability is part of our rural Kiwi roots. Soy wax is renewable, biodegradable, and kinder to the environment, helping us create candles that honour the land we love.

🌸 Better Scent Experience

Soy wax holds fragrance gently and naturally, releasing scent slowly and evenly. Every candle carries the essence of Aotearoa — wild florals, earthy woods, and comforting country notes — in a soft, natural way.

🤲 Hand‑Poured With Care

Using soy wax allows us to pour each candle by hand in small batches, ensuring quality, consistency, and a personal touch in every jar.

 

Sustainability Promise

We’re committed to honouring the land that inspires us. From natural soy wax to eco‑friendly packaging, we choose materials that are gentle on the environment and reflect our rural Kiwi roots. Every candle is poured in small batches to reduce waste, and we continually look for ways to tread lighter, source responsibly, and create products that feel good — for you and for Aotearoa.
