Noodler's Sidewinder Sepia Ink

Noodler’s Sidewinder Sepia: Orange and Red

When I was ordering Noodler’s 1984 a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that Dromgoole’s also had an exclusive Noodler’s ink called “Sidewinder Sepia” in a small, one ounce bottle.

Noodler’s Apache Sunset Ink : Review

For years, in my search for the perfect hue, I only bought bottles of blue ink. Noodler’s Apache Sunset was the first ink that I saw someone write with that made me want to try something new.
