I was writing a text about sumi-e pencils and I came up with this sentence:
筆のタイプには、ほうきの大きさからえんぴつの大きさまでがあります。
Trying to convey "As for pencil types, there are pencils from the size of a broom to the size of a (writing) pencil". Can I use ~から ~まで like this?
You are trying to convey size, where is サイズ?
筆のサイズには、ほうきの太さからえんぴつ位の細さまであります。
Brush sizes range from the thickness of a broom to the thinness of a pencil.
Dr. Google agrees this would be acceptable.
