The Woolly Pen is a fun product. It includes a hook and loop (velcro) base 
(rough side) and wool yarn with pencil-like dispensers called bobbins. As you 
draw, the yarn catches in the backing to make a tactile drawing. The yarn is 
removed when you are finished and is re-usable. It is great for temporary 
drawings, kids' art projects, or quick on-the-spot diagrams in geometry class. 
The kit also includes several basic shapes with hook and loop tape on the back 
that can be added to a drawing. You can make your own shapes and symbols to 
add, as well. It is a great way for kids to be able to express themselves and 
"show" something quickly. It is also handy for teachers with students who are 
blind/visually impaired in their classrooms- a quick and easy tactile graphic 
can be made available to the student for on-the-spot communication.

In the US, Optelec is the Quantum distributor- www.optelec.com
