Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencils offer a cleaner alternative to traditional dry pastels, available in over 80 colors. Each pencil features a 4.7mm lead made from ultra-fine, water-soluble pigments with excellent lightfastness, encased in FSC-certified cedar wood. The casing displays the Caran d'Ache logo and the pencil's color code, with a matte cap matching the lead color. These pencils are best sharpened with a blade and the color application can be fixed. Developed with master pastel artists, they are proudly made in Switzerland.
