#14 Huron Blue Pysanka Dye

Regular price $2.25

Huron Blue is a new navy blue eggshell dye.  It can give you variations of blue depending on the length of your dye dip. Give it a quick dip for a lighter blue or leave it in for a deep rich last colour.

Huron Blue Represents:

Trustworthiness, dependability, integrity, and responsibility. It can be used to honour devoted friends, dependable partners, and inspiring leaders. 

Huron Blue Name: Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes that border Canada and the United States, is known for having the largest shoreline of all the Lakes. It's named after the Huron indigenous people, also known as the Huron-Wendat nation. The Huron Blue dye expertly captures the depth, intelligence and survival of the Wendat nation. A nation of many tribes who lived on these lands hundreds of years before Europeans found the deep blue clear waters of the Great Lakes. Huron Blue also gives honour to the Huron-Wendat women who loved working with colourful beads as well as used pigments from the local plants to decorate their clothing. This would be a great colour to use for someone who you can count on no matter what.

**Notes when using Ukrainian EggCessories Dyes:
Cream Soda Pink, Yukon Gold, Cleansing Orange & Cleansing Yellow DO NOT use vinegar. Please leave your eggshell in the dye long enough to get your preferred colour. To get a strong black, you may need to wash back your last dye colour until your eggshell is a nice exposed shell, dip in vinegar for 30 seconds and then put in Orca Black longer than 10 minutes.

SAFETY FIRST
Breathing in or digesting pysanka dye powder can cause extreme abdominal pain and respiratory symptoms, such as a cough, shortness of breath, and a sore throat. Contact with eyes can result in redness and pain, and skin contact may cause redness as well. For arts and crafts purposes only, not food grade.

Due to these concerns, NIOSH suggests preventative measures for those working with acid pysanka dyes, such as protecting the skin with gloves, eyes with eyewear and providing appropriate ventilation while also wearing a N95 mask.
