The Woody crayon only goes down half the shaft of the stick, so you get half as much crayon with the Woody vs the Neocolor. Edited to add: Thanks so much for this comparison. I appreciate your effort.
I think it's a bit much to call it a fraud. I think the purpose is that you will be able to use all the crayon inside and still have a chunk of wood to hold on to at the end. If the crayon went all the length of the wood, then you would get to a point where you physically can't sharpen it any more even with a knife, and you'd have at least an inch of unusable crayon inside. But it is true that you get less crayon in the Woodies compared to the Neos, and since the Woodies are already more expensive....
Great comparison!! 🥰 The $ was very intriguing!! 👍 I have seen someone cut off the back end of one of the woodies. Half of the shaft is just wood, no crayon. Additional plus for the neocolor IIs is that if you sharpen the neocolor IIs, you can place the shavings in a container or watercolor palette and use it as watercolor paint. It would also let you create your own colors that way. With the woodies, you would have to sort out the wood to do that.
I have not bought the Woodies because the colors are too saturated for my taste. I prefer pastels and muted colors. That’s why I love the Neocolor II, because they have both saturated and muted colors available, along with some lighter tones.

What? That's such a rip off!
I had no idea. Thanks ❤
@@sketchingtheworldwithkat Yep. The Frugal Crafter bit the bullet and cut one open. I think it’s fraud.
It's really deceptive!

Thanks. I never thought of that because I never shave the crayons but yeah, I know a lot of people do.
@@sketchingtheworldwithkat You're very welcome!! 🤗😍
I was on the edge of my seat till the end! Seriously, thanks for the comparison video.
Glad you liked it!
Great review thanks!
Thanks for watching!
fantastic video, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
Thanks for the visit
Nice comparison Kat! If I had to choose would definitely prefer the neocolors, but love both for different purposes 🤭
I totally agree!
This was a great review and answered the questions. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

The colour range of the neocolours is a real selling point.
That was interesting, I’ve got some NeoColours but have never tried the Woodys. Thanks for the comparison Kat.
Thanks for watching!
Sharpen with a knife or blade
Good idea :D
Look Stabilo is are not Caran DeAshe. Nor do they claim to be! What is the deal???
They are both water soluble crayons around the same price point and I was doing a comparison between the two.
