With nice narrow edges on all sides and three rounded points, the triangular tailor’s chalk is a classic design that still works perfectly. Use this washable chalk to mark lines for sewing and craft projects, then remove it with a quick rinse before ironing or heating the fabric.

This new Japanese-market version of Clover Tailor’s Chalk includes a small metal sharpener with each package. Use this simple tool to taper the edges of the chalk when they become too round for accuracy.
