Description

This artisan-quality pencil set is an essential for any young artist. Lyra has created fine highly pigmented dyes that work to create brilliant colour application, which are long lasting and non-soluble. With a thicker lead diameter and a comfortable triangular shaped grip, they are longer lasting than your average pencil and have a grip that is comfortable for all ages, particularly suited for growing hands to develop a good grip whilst developing skill..

This coloured pencil is the longer full length version of of the Lyra Ferby Coloured Pencil.

Traditional Waldorf education selection of 18 Colours in a tin:

004 Zinc Yellow | 007 Lemon Yellow | 013 Orange | 018 Scarlet Lake | 027 Light Carmine | 034 Magenta | 047 Light Blue | 051 Prussian Blue | 067 Sap Green | 070 Apple Green | 076 Van-Dyck Brown | 090 Venetian Red.

Pencil is 17.5cm in length and has a thick core. Its triangular shape also helps with practising the tripod grip which is especially important for children who are still experiencing difficulties holding the pencil properly. The end of the pencil is sealed to prevent the lead slipping in the barrel if a beginner has a heavy hand. The lead is a super thick 6.25 mm in diameter. They are typically found to be break resistant with normal use, and are highly pigmented.

Designed and made in Germany.
