Canadian Candle Making Suppliers

Candle making can be a relaxing and rewarding hobby, but it can be frustrating to find the right supplies, especially when living in Canada. Many candle making suppliers are based in the United States, which can lead to high shipping costs and long delivery times. However, there are some great Canadian candle making suppliers out there that can make it easier to get the supplies you need.

To help out fellow Canadians, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best candle making suppliers in Canada. Whether you’re looking for wax, wicks, fragrances, or other supplies, these companies offer a wide range of options to suit your candle making needs.

Village Craft and Candle This is the place that I usually use because they’re the closest to me and they’re very friendly and helpful. Their fragrance oils are awesome! They often have some great clearance sales as well. I like grabbing 12 used votive molds for $10.00!

Canwax I have purchased a few candle-making supplies there and I must say I’m very impressed. It’s always here the next day which is a bonus! Their fragrances smell delicious and are reasonably priced compared to others. There’s a lot to choose from there. They offer a range of wax types, including soy, beeswax, and paraffin wax, as well as a variety of wicks and fragrances. They also have a range of candle-making kits, making it easy for beginners to get started.

Voyageur Soap and Candle One great option is Voyageur Soap and Candle, which is based in Surrey, British Columbia. They offer a wide variety of candle making supplies, including soy wax, beeswax, fragrance oils, and wicks, as well as a variety of molds and containers. They also provide a wealth of resources, including tutorials and tips for candle making.

New Direction Aromatics I just found this one and they have sales on several of their waxes.

Happy Canada Day!

You probably know by now if you’re a regular reader (and if you’re not, welcome!) that I love a knitting pattern that’s a little silly or a little different from the usual. Classic patterns are great, too, but sometimes you just want to make something with a bit of whimsy. And when it’s super functional, too, that’s even better.

That’s the case with the Bananen-Socken pattern from Susanne Shahin. These banana socks are one of those patterns no one seems to be totally sure where it came from, and this free pattern on Ravelry explains how she makes them based on how she learned it.

It’s a sock that’s curved and when not on a foot it looks rather like a banana. There’s no heel, and you can use whatever number of stitches you need to make it fit your foot. If you’ve knit enough socks to know how many stitches you like you can just use that number, or the pattern notes include sizing charts to help. (It needs to be multiples of 2 for the ribbing.)

After working a traditional cuff, the body is made with ribbing on the back and welts (or what the pattern calls horizontal ribbing) on the front, which is what gives it the curved shape. There’s no heel, but there is toe shaping, but for the leg and the foot you just keep working the same pattern as long as you like.

I’m a little skeptical about how these socks will feel with ribbing on the bottom of the foot, but I’m definitely intrigued and will probably give them a try.

The pattern notes are available on Ravelry in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. If you head to the pattern page you can see a photo of what it looks like on a foot, and it just looks like a normal sock.

Have you ever knit banana socks or do you want to now? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
