Colored Pencils Staedtler 175 Multicolour 12 pcs, 3.0 mm cores, hexagonal

Cardboard box containing 12 Staedtler coloured pencils in assorted trend colours, edition 2, version 1. The pack includes hexagonal wooden pencils with a 3.0 mm core suitable for general colouring and sketching tasks. Packaged in a compact cardboard box for easy storage and transport; CE certified.

Advantages

Hexagonal shape provides a stable grip and prevents rolling on flat surfaces. The relatively thick 3.0 mm core offers good colour laydown and is durable for both colouring and light sketching. The pencils are compatible with standard sharpeners and come in a selection of dark trend tones that produce consistent, vibrant coverage.

Suitable for

• School colouring and classroom activities
• Home art projects and hobby drawing
• Adult colouring books and relaxation colouring
• Basic sketching and shading where solid colour is required

When it may not be suitable

These pencils are intended for colouring and light sketching; they are not designed for professional fine-art techniques that require specialised artists’ pencils or blending with solvents. If you need extremely soft or water-soluble cores, choose pencils specifically marketed as watercolour or artist-grade.

Key specifications

• Count: 12 pencils per pack
• Core diameter: 3.0 mm
• Body shape: hexagonal

How to use

Smoothly sharpen the pencil with a standard sharpener to expose the 3.0 mm core. Apply colour using light to firm pressure depending on desired intensity; layer colours for depth or shading. Store the pencils in the cardboard box when not in use to protect the leads and keep them organised.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: general colouring and sketching rather than professional art techniques
• Core type: solid, non-water-soluble — not suitable for wet blending
• Grip preference: hexagonal body for anti-roll and comfort
• Quantity: pack of 12 colours; check if colour range meets your needs

Usage recommendations

Use a standard sharpener compatible with 3.0 mm cores, keep pressure even for uniform coverage, and store pencils horizontally or in the box to reduce breakage.
