Tailor Chalk
Tailor's chalk (uncountable) A chalk-like material used for marking
alterations on fabric in tailoring and dressmaking. The marks are brushed
or washed off the material when no longer needed.
Soft Pencil
A soft pencil will make a darker line than a hard pencil. Soft pencils are
usually marked B, plus a number to indicate the degree of softness—3B
is softer and blacker than 2B.
Tracing Paper
Tracing paper is paper made to have low opacity, allowing light to pass
through. It was originally developed for architects and design engineers to
create drawings which could be copied precisely using the diazo
copy process it then found many other uses. The original use for drawing
and tracing was largely superseded by technologies which do not require
diazo copying or manual copying (by tracing) of drawings.
The transparency of the paper is achieved by careful selection of the raw
materials and the process used to create transparency. Cellulose
fibre forms the basis of the paper, usually from wood species but also from
cotton fibre. Often, paper contains other filler materials to enhance opacity
and print quality. For tracing or translucent paper, it is necessary to remove
any material which obstructs the transmission of light.
