We make the chalk so that the mark will stay on whilst work is in progress and as easy as possible to brush off when work has finished (always test first).- Made in the UK

The manufacturers give no guarantee as to the suitability of these crayons on any particular cloth or material and recommend that a preliminary test be made before marking up. Marking should be done on the reverse of the material, but if this is not possible, test on a waste piece of fabric to make sure that the mark can be removed. Most marks can be removed with a brisk brushing, or can be washed out if the material is washable. Commercial cleaning fluids should be used with caution. -
