Farb-Riesen is German for colour giants, and the name is literal. The lead inside each of these Lyra pencils measures 6.25mm across, marked on the box, which is roughly double the core of a standard colour pencil and considerably more than most so-called jumbo pencils. That single number explains everything else about how the set behaves.

A core that wide lays down a broad, saturated band in one stroke, so large areas fill in a fraction of the time and the colour stays dense rather than streaky. It also survives pressure: the box carries an extra-pigment and resistant marking, and a thick lead is far harder to snap than a thin one, which matters for a child who presses hard or an adult sketching quickly.

The barrels are left as natural untreated wood rather than being painted, so the only colour on the pencil is the lead itself at the tip. They are hexagonal and oversized to match the core, which makes them comfortable for hands that struggle with a thin barrel, whether that is a young child or an adult with limited grip.

Lyra has been making pencils in Germany since 1806, printed on the box beside the lyre mark, and each barrel carries the CE mark.
