The classic yellow No. 2 pencil, made of cedar with a pink eraser cap, held in by a golden metal band, is a uniquely American back-to-school tool that took two centuries to evolve. As modern students turn to keyboards and writing habits change, people weathering COVID-19 have a new fondness for the trusty pencil. Digital-age demand has been steady and rising. Imports went from about 21 million in 2008 to nearly 29 million in 2018, according to the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association. While there aren’t yet numbers from this historic year, the association tracked anecdotal reports that pencils and art supplies did well during the pandemic.
