It’s National #2 Pencil Day! Have you even wondered what the difference is between #1 Pencils and #2? I have! so I looked it up! Turns out… #1 Pencils have more graphite in them, are softer and darker and are used in Publishing. #2’s are used by the rest of us in School! It took me a zillion years to find this out but better late than never!
