Grama, I would be glad to send you some square braid wick to try- I have partial spools of #1 square braid, #2 sq braid and 2/0 sq braid. I could cut you off a length of each to try if you want. Would be glad to pop them in the mail to you at no cost. Generally, looks like 2/0 or the #1 would be appropriate to try with 2-3" pillars, #2 for 3-4" pillars. As I mentioned, I never got around to trying them myself as I am happy with the flat braid and did so much wick testing that I decided to cease and desist testing for a while! I will probably be giving these a try myself now that I have some time to work on my candles again.
