The Carousel Fountain Pen - Lost in the Leaves
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.
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.
Patch finds herself lost amidst the dense, twisting branches of an ancient forest where the air is thick with mystery, and the rumoured home of the enigmatic Baba Yaga.

Once Upon a Design
Notable design details:
- A howl reverberates through the forest, sending tremors through the treetops. Let’s hope tonight is not a full moon.
- A dryad, protective of its forest, waves its branches like arms, twisting its body of a trunk; a warning to all travellers through the woods to leave no trace.
- Baba Yaga finally reveals herself to Patch, her hut rising on its chicken legs. Will she appear as a wicked witch, or a helpful old lady?
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
