Mullein Plant As A Candlestick When Making Candles

"Use Mullein plant as a candlewick when making candles if you do not have cotton or flax string. Farmers also used its leaves as insoles for shoes and for floor coverings. Dipped in tallow, the stalks can be used as emergency torches. Be sure to strip its leaves first. It’s known as miners’ candle." - From Granny Buck's Dibs and Dabs
