Welcome to PencilLovers! The pencil is the oldest mode of writing instrument in the world that is still being used today. Its history can be traced as far back as the 16th century, when graphite was first discovered. Yet, it has survived centuries of technological innovation, outlasting other modes of writing such as the quill and the dipping pen. Though the ballpoint pen is the most common writing instrument used today, pencils will always have a place in our culture as a source of creativity, expression, and learning.

Our goal is to satisfy the needs of writers, students, and artists who require the pleasures of graphite contacting paper. There are many, many pencils out in the marketplace, but we have assembled a collection of only the finest, with the highest reputations of quality. We carry a vast selection of mechanical pencils, wood cased pencils, watercolour pencils, and pencil accessories, including erasers, sharpeners, and leads. Our prices are competitive and we strive to fulfill your order as quickly and accurately as possible.
