    Why You'll Love It:

    • 16 oz candle with two cotton‑paper wicks

    • Apricot Coconut wax blend for a more sustainable, cleaner burn

    • Hand‑poured in Tennessee

    Born from the rustic spirit of early‑American homesteads, our 16 oz Duo-Wick Homestead Merchant Candle captures the quiet, grounded comfort of frontier life. It’s crafted in Tennessee, where each batch is hand‑mixed and hand‑poured with the same steady, intentional pace that defined early craftsmanship.

    We use a luxury Apricot Coconut wax blend, chosen for its clean burn, creamy texture, and superior scent throw. It’s a more sustainable alternative to soy — a better choice for your home and the environment. With two cotton‑paper wicks, your candle burns evenly from edge to edge, unlocking a 100+ hour burn time when burned correctly.

    Our fragrances are phthalate‑free, making them a safer option for homes with children, pets, and sensitive noses. Homestead is blended to feel warm, grounded, and reminiscent of the simple comforts found in early‑American rural living — apple cider simmering on the stove, fresh‑split pine stacked by the hearth, and smooth teakwood shaped by hand. It’s a rustic heritage scent inspired by the honest work and quiet beauty of life on the homestead.

    Whether you’re setting the mood, refreshing your space, or gifting to someone special, this candle delivers a premium experience from the first light to the last

    Proper Candle Care

    For best results, trim wicks to ¼ inch before each burn. Allow the candle to melt fully to the edges during each use to prevent tunneling (approx. 2-3 hours). Burn no longer than 4 hours at a time, keeping away from curtains & fabrics. Always place on a heat‑safe surface. For safety, discontinue use when about ½ inch of wax remains.

HANDCRAFTED WITH HERITAGE

Colonial Merchant began with the idea that products we use around our Home should be safe, easy to use, and worry-free. So, we talked to our moms, grandmothers, aunts, & family to find out how people used to take care of their Home -- before we were overrun with mass-produced chemical options. We're reviving old-fashioned, traditional ingredients like Vinegar, Baking Soda, Tallow & Saponified Oils to use in our Home around our Family & Pets.
