Melinda, what I've found is not a "proper" mechanical pencil at all. We are
talking cheap, flimsy plastic pencils that might not make it through filling
one with lead. Since they come three in a pack, maybe they'll make it
through a project. And I'm a bit concerned about blue drawing leads that
might be for drafting. Best way to tell would be to mark something white or
very light and give it a bleeding / smearing test. Easy enough.
I was such a dismal failure with a soft, thick lead pencil that needed
sharpening after every dot. Wish I knew something about Oz equivalents. Just
bound to be one for you. Polly

I've got proper blue drawing leads for a mechanical pencil, are they
draughting leads are something else...

I'm in Oz, so I looking for an Oz equivalent.
