Real hand-written Ukrainian Easter Eggs (Pysanky) love vivid colours!
Ukrainian EggCessories offers 27 eggshell dye colours and two washes, Cleansing Orange and Cleansing Yellow wash. These colours offer unlimited colour combinations to use in your pysanka designs.
All the dye colours have a fun Canadian theme and are the only dyes that are mixed and packaged in Canada. We're pretty proud of that. Plus Canadians are known to be light hearted and fun... so why not let our dyes be the same.
We want you to have just as much fun with the eggshell dyes, trusting that the dyes have been tested and re-mixed to give you the best coverage and brightness. Our dyes are very comparable with all the other pysanka dye companies so jump in, grab some dyes and have some pysanka fun!!
These are all sold as individual dye packages but also come in a basic 6 colour kit, a Trypillian Dye Kit, 13 colour kit, 20 colour kit and a 28 colour kit.
Cream Soda Pink, Cleansing Orange Wash & Cleansing Yellow Wash do not use vinegar. Only use 1 tsp of 5% vinegar with Yukon Gold and Kalyna Red. If you can find 10% vinegar, use 1 tablespoon in the remaining dyes. 10% vinegar can often be found in the cleaning aisle of department stores or at an ethnic Ukrainian or Polish store.
