Candlewicking doesn't look at all like trapunto.
Scroll down to see example:

I think there's some confusion over terms I took Suzi's description of the
extant pieces she saw to mean that they had used the same string/cord that
would have been used to make candle wicks (so a relatively fine cord) in the
trapunto not that they were doing this knot based surface embroidery, even
if it is called Candlewicking.
