Ferris Wheel Press does a great job at separating their collections into charger sets-3 x 5ml ink vials. The Sophie charger set contains 3 inks from the Fall 2020 collection. Thanks to Phidon Pens for sending this set over for review!

I used a Taroko Odyssey notebook, the first two inks had an average flow and Moss Park Green had a dry flow.

Overall, I enjoyed all three of these inks, but Moss Park Green can be too light in the smaller nib sizes. Goose Poupon is my favorite despite the less than flattering name. All three are great colors for the fall season.
