- Rozen Candle Making
The rozen and the water and a little soap also was put into an article called a cam and melted into a liquid.
They then got little strips of corduroy about a foot long and an inch and a half wide.
The corduroy which was called wicks was put into the cam. They were covered and soaked in the liquid.
They were lifted up with a little stick and rolled on a board and that helped to keep them from breaking. Then the candles were complete.
