My Story

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

Welcome to my little corner of rural Aotearoa, where life moves gently, the paddocks smell of fresh earth and wildflowers, and every candle is poured with intention.

Wool and Wick was born from a love of country living, boho creativity, and the nostalgic charm of classic Kiwiana — enamel mugs warming your hands, wool blankets on the couch, gumboots by the door, the hum of a cosy farmhouse kitchen.

Each candle is hand‑poured in small batches using natural ingredients and fragrances inspired by the places and moments that make New Zealand feel like home. From earthy woods to soft florals and comforting blends, every scent captures a slice of rural Kiwi life — golden light over the paddocks, the crackle of a winter fire, the sweetness of wild honey, the calm of a quiet country morning.

My style blends rustic textures with country‑boutique soul: warm woods, dried florals, flax tones, and soft, earthy colours. It’s a celebration of simple living, creativity, and the beauty tucked into everyday moments.

Whether you’re lighting a candle to unwind, to warm your home, or to gift someone a little piece of Aotearoa, I’m grateful you’re here. From my little 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 Matters - 

🌿 Natural & Honest

Soy wax aligns with my commitment to simple, authentic craftsmanship. It’s a clean, natural choice that reflects the down‑to‑earth spirit of rural Aotearoa.

🔥 Cleaner for Your Home

With a cleaner burn and less soot, soy wax helps keep your home’s air fresher — offering warmth and comfort without harsh chemicals.

🕯️ Longer‑Lasting Light

Soy wax burns slowly and evenly, giving you more hours of soft, cosy glow. It’s the perfect match for slow evenings and relaxed, country‑inspired living.

🥝 Eco‑Friendly by Nature

Renewable, biodegradable, and gentle on the environment, soy wax supports sustainable making and honours the land we love.

🌸 Beautiful, Balanced Fragrance

Soy wax releases scent softly and consistently, allowing each fragrance — from wild florals to earthy woods — to feel natural and true to Aotearoa.

🤲 Crafted with Care

Every candle is hand‑poured in small batches, ensuring quality, consistency, and a personal touch in every jar.

 

 

Sustainability Promise

I am committed to honoring the land that inspires me. From natural soy wax to eco‑friendly packaging, I 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 I continually look for ways to tread lighter, source responsibly, and create products that feel good — for you and for Aotearoa.

 

With Love

Leonie
