Comments about General's Sketch & Wash Pencil:

I use it for tracing embroidery patterns, which have to completely wash out afterwards. This is the only pencil which does this.
Unfortunately the dealer from whom I have bought, no longer supplies - is there anywhere in South Africa where I can get one??

I do a lot of field sketching and have looked for one tool to do it all. This is it. A nice soft lead that is quick to sharpen and doesn't crumble or break easily. It's like magic when water is added, creating gorgeous washes. They also work well with a wash of watercolor if desired. And once wet, no need to worry about smudging. I will buy these by the dozen!

I use this product to mark my fabric for match points, elastic placement, dart placement, etc. It writes clearly and precisely on all types of fabric and then washes out of my finished garment completely. If you want an even darker or more solid line or dot, just wet the tip of the pencil. Amazing! I'd buy it at 5 times the price, and will stop using all other marking pencils that I've wasted my money on. I wish they made it in a white or yellow as well for darker colored fabric.

General's Sketch n Wash pencils are a lot of fun to use. Contrary to the reviewer below, I find these pencils to be just as good as Graphitone and are actually less messy to use and easier to travel with. Plus their price is very reasonable. Sketch n Wash pencils are excellent for taking with you for sketching outdoors or away from home. It's the only pencil I take with me when I go out to do field studies. Makes a very nice medium tone wash when you brush water over the dry pencil lines. I would highly recommend this product.

These were the first water-soluble graphite pencils I bought, and at the time I thought they were ok. Then after I tried a few other brands, particularly the Derwent Graphitone, I realized they're not that good at all. They're nice to sketch with dry, but once you use a wash over them, it's not so good. Go with the Derwent Graphitone instead.
