Description

The Carousel is a joyous writing instrument that combines tactility and nostalgia in a lightweight body to create a charming experience with every single detail. The custom-ground steel nib is playful and agile, producing beautifully nuanced lines with its subtle flexibility. Available in both fine and medium weights, this nib is stamped with a galloping horse that dances to your every word.

In the shadowed enclaves of towering buildings, Patch follows the trail of gargoyles that stand guard, day after night. To this age they continue to stand for the history they hold, centuries of stories etched into their stony skin. This cool grey tone features a multitude of shades, highlighted by a rose gold shimmer.

Pair with the 20ml Ferritales Granite Guardians ink to complete your collection.

Every Carousel fountain pen comes equipped with its own ink converter, ready to be filled and refilled all over again with your favourite Ferris Wheel Press Ink.

Once Upon a Design

Notable design details:

While often scary in design, gargoyles have been used for centuries to protect those within the beautiful buildings they perch upon.
Stony in nature, these sentinels are not only a decorative feature, but they also have the practical purpose of funneling rainwater away from the building.
Hidden in enclaves and building edges, they have stood the test of time. Next time you're in an old building, look up and perhaps you will spot these artistic architectural accents watching over you.

Care instructions

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

Unscrew to remove the barrel from the grip section and access the converter.
Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
Allow 1 day to dry.
Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen but twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.

Notes:

For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink
