Winter looms on

but spring candles are here!

​It's February in Minnesota, we've already had false spring #1, and now it's brutally cold, but we've been delivering our spring collection to stores!  Lemon Sunrise (shown left) is a bright and creamy lemon citrus, The Bee's Knees is scented of wild honey and lavender, and Garden Variety smells like fresh green leaves and melon.

But not all our usual stockists carry the spring line, so we also have then available here on our website.  We hope you'll enjoy these three new fresh fragrances, available now.

Street Market

Upcoming events

TBD

We LOVE seeing you all at in-person shopping events, but to be honest, we don't love seeing our candles melt in hot summer sun at outdoor art fairs. So we have to be kind of selective, you know?  Do you know of an upcoming event you think we should participate in?  Drop us a line and let us know about it!  In the meantime, we'll keep you posted once we've got new events in our schedule. 

New Stockist!

Don't forget to
trim your wick!

every time

Our #1 candle tip is this: TRIM YOUR WICK

After each burn, once the wax has cooled, it's important to remove the black crumbling ash before relighting.  You can use a wick trimmer, a scissors, or even just pinch off as much as you can with your fingers.  Removing the excess ash makes relighting easier, keeps the flame at a safe height, and prevents smoking of the jar.  The wax also burns more efficiently so your candle will last longer too!  Now that's advice we can all get behind!

​

Want a fancy wick trimmer like the one in the photo?  We've got you covered here.

About Us

What's in a name?

'Sota Cracklers!  It's a terrible, terrible pun... so of course we went with it!  Actually the name of our made-in-Minnesota candles is partly derived from the crackling wooden wicks we use!  We're also BIG fans of Minnesota & proud to call the state our home!  That's why our scents are named after places & things that are uniquely Minnesotan, like our piney Northwoods scent, or our fresh and watery Lake Superior Splash scent.

 

We value quality, craftsmanship, & beautiful design.  We strive to bring you a bit of nature with our crackling wood wicks, set into naturally smoke-less soy wax candles, which fit brilliantly into any modern or traditional home decor.  Our wood wicks are responsibly sourced from US forests & our wax is also made from American grown soy beans.  All our candles are carefully poured by hand, in small batches, in our White Bear Lake home studio for your enjoyment.
