Water Color Pencil Question

So today I went to Hobby Lobby to get a new set of water color pencils as my set was very cheap and they are very hard so it is difficult to get color on the fabric.  I was looking for a softer lead-i thought Hobby Lobby had many different kinds but what i discovered was only a couple different ones-the ones I could open and feel were very hard-the ones I couldn't were DeWerts and they are very expensive esp when i don't know how good they are. So can anyone recommend a nice softer set? If the DeWerts are good I will go back and but them-i have a coupon:] I was gonna check JoAnnes and Micheals too but would like to have an idea of what to look for!!
Thanks in advance gang!
Hugs!
