Colored Twist Crayons Amos Silky Twisters 12 colors (MPN 191260)

Amos Silky Twisters 12-color set are twist-action colored crayons designed for drawing, coloring and craft work. Each crayon has a twist mechanism that advances the colored core without the need for sharpening, offering consistent line width and easy control. The set includes twelve colors chosen for general-purpose use in schoolwork, sketching and hobby projects, combining smooth pigment laydown with a compact, mess-reducing barrel.

Advantages

The twist mechanism eliminates sharpening and reduces breakage by protecting the crayon core inside a plastic barrel. Smooth, blendable color cores deliver even coverage on paper and common art surfaces, while the slim, lightweight barrels are comfortable for children and adults to hold. The set of twelve complementary colors allows fast color changes and minimal interruption during creative work.

• School coloring and classroom activities

Key specifications

• Number of colors: 12
• Delivery system: twist-action advancement
• Core type: colored wax/pigment core for smooth laydown
• Barrel: slim plastic protective casing for mess-free use
• Recommended surfaces: paper, drawing pads, card stock

How to use

Advance the colored core by rotating the twist mechanism at the end of the barrel until the desired amount of color is exposed. Apply moderate pressure while coloring; reduce pressure for lighter tones and layering. After use, retract any excess core by twisting backward if the mechanism allows, or store the crayon with the tip protected inside the barrel to avoid smudging and breakage. No sharpener is required.

Usage recommendations

Use on medium-weight paper or drawing pads for best coverage and to avoid excessive wear on the core. For blending, layer colors gently and use lighter pressure to build tones. Keep caps or barrels closed when not in use to prevent accidental marks and to prolong the life of the cores.
