We recently came across a new candle line by Yankee Candle that appears to be a soy paraffin blend. if this is true, we’re not sure how this is going to affect the cottage soy candle industry, it may be a double edged sward.
On one hand it could harm many of us to some extent, however, if they begin to show the advantages of soy it could help us.
This candle line appears to be a “designer” line aimed at those looking for something a little more contemporary. The price seems a bit high on these candles, but it may be artificially inflated to make them appear to be a “premium designer” candle.
We will look into this more and see what we can find.
