This knot became known as a "Monkey's Fist" knot because, as with a monkey, it won't turn loose of an object.  It was used to rescue people when ships were in distress.

Our large 1904 Candles Monkey’s Fist measures 4 inches x 4 inches.  These beautiful handmade beeswax candles will burn for a minimum of 60 hours.

These 100% beeswax candles offer a great home décor addition for anyone who loves the nautical life!  They also offer a great idea for a hostess gift or Father's Day surprise!  We know you will love them!

To ensure optimal burn time and candle performance one must trim the wick to ¼ inch and after 3 hours of burning it is a good idea to allow the candle to rest, if you will, as beeswax candles burn the hottest of all waxes.
