Graphite Line Hardness Degrees Pencils - Set of 6

From whisper-soft shadows to deep, dramatic blacks—find your perfect shade of graphite!

Take your drawing to the next level with the Caran d’Ache Grafwood Graphite Pencils, a specialist set designed to give artists complete control over tone, texture, and line. With six different hardness degrees, you can move effortlessly from crisp, precise lines to rich, expressive shading—all with the same exceptional quality.

From the extra-hard 2H to the deep, velvety 9B, each pencil offers a different graphite experience. Use the harder grades for fine technical lines, detailed illustrations, and precise hatching, then switch to the softer grades when it’s time to build dramatic shadows, smooth gradients, and intense areas of black.

Each pencil is crafted from premium FSC™ certified cedar wood with a hexagonal body for comfortable handling. The varnish color corresponds to the pencil’s hardness, making it easy to grab the right grade when inspiration strikes.

Whether you’re sketching, writing, shading, blurring, or creating highly detailed technical artwork, this versatile set gives you the tools to explore every shade between light and dark.

Hardness Degrees Include:

• 2H – Fine and extra-fine lines for technical drawing and scientific illustration
• HB – Hatching and layering
• 3B – Smooth, intense strokes and shading
• 5B – Richer, softer shading
• 7B – Deep, expressive blacks
• 9B – Extra-soft graphite for bold, dramatic shading
