A box of 12 Patterned Paper-covered 4B Sketching Pencils in subtle, fresh shades of acid yellow, yellow-green, piccalilli, sap and mustard, in a box covered in Selvedge Mustard paper. These are the very best quality sketching pencils, made for us in Cumbria by world-famous pencil makers Derwent, and covered by hand in our patterned papers. An absolute joy to use.
Derwent have been making pencils in the Lake District since 1832. The pencils have a smooth, wide, wax-based graphite core. They will sharpen to a very fine point for precision and detail, but are also blendable and erasable. The mark they make is completely lightfast.
