The Pendle Wick, a pun - because the owner really likes puns, literature and candles. The name is in celebration of the owner's rural roots that reach back to Pendle in Lancashire, famous mostly for witches.
The Pendle Wick was formed on a rainy Autumn afternoon, whilst reading one of her favorite books (Witches Abroad, a Discworld Novel - Terry Pratchett). Not on a dark and stormy night as you might expect a story about witches to begin.
No, this tale is much simpler. Michelle, aka The Pendle Wick, was homesick, reading a book and decided to light a candle. Because candles are like your favorite book, movie or song - they bring us joy.
The Danes have a word for this; Hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment. That's what The Pendle Wick pours into each one of the hand poured candles from her cauldron, located somewhere in Virginia, USA.
Why should you choose our soy candles?
Our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax from US farm grown soy beans and lead free cotton wicks. Soy wax burns cleaner and safer than the paraffin wax you find in most mass produced candles.
We do not add any color to our candles, this is what gives them their beautiful neutral and elegant appearance & makes them the perfect accompaniment for any decor. They contain no dyes, no additives and are phthalate free. Our containers are reusable / recyclable.
