Candle Wick Yarn

I just uncovered a bag of Candle Wick Yarn I bought while thrift shopping over Christmas week. I’d squirreled it away in a corner of my sewing area and promptly forgotten about it. I was thrilled to discover it anew a couple of days ago. The price tag reads $2.99 but it may have been a half-price buy. I don’t remember now.

I plan to use it for embroidering. In fact I just used some of the chocolate brown to make this elephant patch for Eli’s backpack.

But there is a lot of yarn here. Perhaps one day I will attempt some candlemaking? Maysem of Ode to Inspiration recently wrote a post about some candles she made that made it sound like a lot of fun. The yarn comes as three strands that I understand are then braided together in different ways depending on how one wants the candle to burn. I always thought it would be fun to make dipped candles. I can imagine doing that with Eli when he is quite a bit older and we are homeschooling, maybe during a unit on the pioneer days.

How would you use a bag of candle wick yarn?

Thanks for reading!
