When you pick up the pens for the first time, you immediately notice their light weight.
The shaft of the pens is very narrow and it can be assumed that the product is suitable for hands of different sizes.
The caps sit firmly on the pen and prevent it from drying out. However, they can also be easily removed by children as no great force is required.
With regard to the thickness of the pen tip, it should be noted that it appears narrow and delicate so that it can be assumed that very fine lines can also be drawn.
Based on the colours of the caps, it can be assumed that the colours included in the product range are very varied.

These textile pens were subjected to a thorough practical test.
With regard to the drying time of the pens, it was found that the colour is well absorbed within a few minutes, during which time the colour should not be deliberately brushed over with the fingers. For complete drying, the manufacturer recommends leaving the product to dry for 24 hours.
Even after several washes, the textile dyes still show beautiful and vibrant colours.
In terms of lightfastness, the colours are particularly bright on light-coloured textiles.
The lines of the textile pens are easy to draw thanks to the approx. 2 mm tip, which means that more delicate work is also possible. This makes the textile pens interesting for both children and adults. When applying the colour, it is noticeable that the line is even and does not vary in thickness.
With regard to the dimensions of the pens, it was found that they are suitable for both large and small hands . They fit well in the hand and are pleasantly light.
In the practical test, the product impressed with its ease of use and the beautiful radiance of the colours.
