Product description of the manufacturer
The textile pens from the ihaspoko brand are pens for colouring fabric and other textiles. This fabric paint pen set impresses with a diverse colour selection with a total of twelve bright colours, including classic shades such as red, yellow, green, blue, black and white. This opens up numerous possibilities for realising creative DIY projects and personalising everyday crafts. The high-quality fabric pens are idealfor doodling, outlining, writing, sketching, underlining as well as for simple colour accents and creative decorations on fabrics or paper. They are ideal for creating personalised designs or embellishing textiles. Thanks to their durability and lightfastness , the colours remain brilliant even after several washes and do not fade. The fast drying time on fabrics ensures that ideas can be realised quickly. However, it is recommended not to paint on dark clothing as the colours are less visible there. The set is versatile and is perfect for textiles such as shirts, T-shirts, shoes, jeans, hats, canvas bags, tablecloths or cushion covers. It is also a great gift idea for art lovers and creative minds.
In the practical test, this product impressed with its vibrant colours and ease of use for children.

The first thing you notice about these textile pens is that they are relatively light in weight .
The dimensions are very slim and compact , making the product equally suitable for children and adults.
The caps all fit tightly and prevent them from drying out. They can also be removed by children with normal force.
The thickness of the pen tips also allows for more delicate and finer work, so that even more elaborate works of art can be created.
With regard to the colours, it should be noted that the set of 12 contains all the important and expected colours.

These textile pens were subjected to an extensive practical test. It was found that the colour is well absorbed within a few minutes, although you should avoid deliberately running your fingers over the colour during this time. For complete drying, the manufacturer recommends leaving the pens to dry for 24 hours.
Even after several washes, the textile paints still showed strong and beautiful colours.
In terms of lightfastness, the colours appear particularly vivid and strong on light-coloured textiles.
The approx. 2 mm tip enables good lines to be drawn, so that even delicate work is possible. This feature makes the textile pens interesting for both children and adults.
When applying, it is noticeable that the lines are even and hardly vary in thickness. As far as the dimensions of the pens are concerned, they are suitable for both larger and smaller hands.
They fit comfortably in the hand and are easy to handle.
In the practical test, the product impressed us with its ease of use and intense colour effect.
