Smokey - Familiar - The Great North
Under a starry sky sitting around a roaring campfire, you share stories and laughs with friends and family.
This hand poured, 100% soy wax candle is excellent for bringing the outdoors indoors.
14 oz
Burn time: 80+ hours
Things to remember: the first burn is the most important! Soy has a memory, so the first burn will set the tone for the rest of its candle life. You want your candle to be off to a good start in life – so remember to allow the wax pool to reach the edge of the glass on the first burn – but don’t let it burn too long. Candles shouldn’t be burned longer than 3-4 hours at a time, the wick should always be trimmed to ¼ inch long between burns, and candles should never be burned near another heat source (yes this includes other candles – keep them at least 6 inches apart!). Oh, and keep that candle on a heat safe surface, away from drafts, children, and pets!
