Shop Faber-Castell by Range
1. Colour pencils — the Polychromos 24 tin is the classic starting set; step up to the tin of 12 for a trial or the full 120-colour tin for a complete studio.
2. Graphite — the Castell 9000 Art Set (tin of 12) covers every hardness a sketch needs; made continuously since 1905.
3. Highlighters — Textliner 1548 superfluorescents for the pencil case, or the refillable Textliner 1549 system if you'd rather refill than re-buy.
4. School essentials — the Grip 2011 mechanical pencil with its dotted triangular grip is the one that stays comfortable through a three-hour exam.
Fountain pens & fine writing — Loom, Ambition, Ondoro, e-motion and more live on our dedicated Faber-Castell Pens page, and the luxury line has its own Graf von Faber-Castell collection.
