Just completed my very first lamp wick!

[noobiechickenlady]

I've had many conversations just like that with friends!

Ditto!
Very neat!
I just bought a pack of wicks for my hurricane lamps. Oh well, at least I have something to match the size to now

Can you explain why you had to soak the wick? Oh, and how about a picture??? Great skill learned, congrats!!

. . . I then wove it up in a flat weave , just like friendship bracelets we've all made. . .

I never did that. :/
Well done! I know my husband will be impressed. I am sure he will want to try making one.

Could you elaborate on the "burns different" part? Faster? Slower? Brighter? Sorry, I want to make some, and if I know what to expect with burning, I'll know I did it right!

WOW!!! That's great!

Yes, I have conversations like that, too....especially with dh and bro-in-law.

I know how to do the friendship bracelets.

But do you have links for step by step instructions for getting cotton ready to use.

Do you hand spin it. Or do you need a machine??
