Arvet Large candles

Hand dipped beeswax candles from Swedish maker Arvet.
Each candle is hand made from 100% natural materials. The local beeswax is usually very yellow, to get lighter colours she uses naturally bleached white beeswax.

Each piece is unique.

They are plant dyed to achieve the various colours.
Brown: Cacao Theobroma
Pink: Rubia tinctoria and/ or alkanna tinctoria
Blue/Grey: Indigofera tinctoria
Green: medicago sativa and/ or Arthrospira plantensis
Yellow: no added pigment

Wick: Cotton
Length: 25-30cm

Please be present when burning the candle and never leave unattended.
The plant colouring can make a crackling sound and may drip when the shape is irregular. Cut the wick to 1cm and the candle will burn with a reasonably large flame.

To remove beeswax residue from the candle holder, put it on a baking paper in the oven at about 75degrees until it melts away, or put them in a bath of hot water. When the water has cooled, the beeswax settles on the surface, making it easy to remove.
