The melt and pour pillar wax has been developed from the company’s own wax which is used at On a Wick & a Prayer for making their own popular fragranced wax melts. Simply melt the wax in its container using a pan of simmering water, add the pre-measured fragrance, add your required drops of liquid colour and then pour into one of the silicone wax waffle moulds. Once set, the wax melts easily pop out of the mould and are ready to enjoy straight away! EaziCandle’s ceramic melters have been designed to be the perfect height to get the best from your wax melt fragrance. You can any of the company’s waxes for making wax melts and the silicone wax waffle moulds are a great way to use up any leftover wax after making candles. Get in touch with one of the team for more information. +44 (0)1335 390 639 info@eazicandle.co.uk www.eazicandle.co.uk VIRIDIAN Viridian is delighted to introduce its new range of Opal 4ply yarn Van Gogh. Opal first presented these impressionistic colourways in honour of Vincent van Gogh 10 years ago and they’ve never been forgotten. There are eight new colours this year. Van Gogh is one of the most popular painters of the 19th century and went down in world history with his colour intensive paintings. Opal is the home of limited edition self-patterning sock yarn. Most ranges are made of 75 per cent wool and 25 per cent polyamide − it’s hard wearing yet gentle, perfect for both little ones and the more mature skin. office@viridianltd.co.uk https://viridianyarn.com  63 WINTER CRAFTS
