Cross Stitch: Pattern Marking – Floss, Hoop & Love
https://fhlstitching.com/2015/04/08/cross-stitch-pattern-marking

Very bright, easy to see – I have pink, but they come in other colors as well. The tip makes it easy to mark in small areas – even individual stitches on a pattern or to draw a fine line to mark a backstitch or outline a section. It is erasable, so if you make a mistake in your marking, you can correct it. WIP: Heart of Christmas Update.
