הַבְדָלָה candle

As my previous הַבְדָלָה candle is coming towards the end of its lifetime, I have now made a new one; my first attempt to make a three-stranded candle:

I still don't understand even from explanation how to do it. I have no idea how to make candles in general. I would need someone to show me and then when I try I just burn my fingers. I am really useless for handicraft. I even forgot how to knit. It was once upon a time taught to me. It is not as hard as your work.
