Castell 9000 Artist Pencils

The Castell 9000 is a genuinely classic pencil, launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905.

A firm favourite amongst artists and illustrators for 2 very good reasons.
One of which is the 2 different widths of pencil available; standard & jumbo.
The other being the wide range of grades, totalling at 16! 
From a soft, delicate grey hue to a deep graphite black, making it ideal for all technical and artistic applications.

Uniquely, the lead is fully bonded with the wood surround and is therefore particularly break-resistant.
