TSOUKAS CANDLE WORKSHOP
Tsoukas "Knitted" Candle Workshop is a small, traditional candle store that provides original, hand-made candles in Florina, Greece. The company has a history that dates back to the 19th century when our descentants established the first candle store in the city of Bitola, today part of FYROM. Around 1920 they moved to Florina and continued their candlemaking business there. The handicraft itself is much older and dates back to the byzantine times. The knitted candles are produced by a long cord made of beewax and wick that is knitted by hands to various shapes that you see. The persons that run the company are Dimitrios and Evangelos Tsoukas.
