Where to get pastel pencils

[Nellyphant]

Hello

Can someone tell me the best (and cheapest!) place to get pastel pencils?

My local art shop only orders them in and their prices made my hair stand on end!

I want to have a go at the blending that you all do so beautifully.

Thanks!

Hobbycraft stock them, I saw a few different makes there last week

If you have The Range near you they do the Reeves pastels for a reasonable price.

My pastel pencils are Derwent and they colour beautifully, like them better than my prisma colours.
