I'm working away at a pillow top that has candlewicking floss as a major
component. What was supplied feels terrible on/in my hands as well as
feeling, well, chintzy.
Anyone got a reasonable source for candewicking supplies?

I have no idea where to get new candlewicking floss, but I've got about 5
balls of a dusty sage green candlewicking floss lying around here in my
stash I was going to donate to the Goodwill. I've had it for years, but
don't remember where I got it from. I picked it up to do some thread
crochet but didn't use much of it because you're right, it doesn't have a
good hand feel--kinda stiff. If anyone wants it, they're more than welcome
to it!

Wrong color for me but I'll bet it can't feel worse than this stuff.

I haven't done any candlewick in a long time but I remember the thread being
kind of rough. I have a pillow somewhere in my stash that I think it's
supposed to be done with regular floss. I would imagine if you used 6
strands, or maybe even 12 to be similar in weight, that would work nicely.
