#06 Niagara Blue Pysanka Dye

Regular price $2.25

Niagara Blue Eggshell Pysanka Dye is our original Blue dye that has proven to be a strong blue for all your pysanky creations. Because this pysanka dye colour has lasted the test of time, we gave it the new Canadian name of Niagara Blue.

Niagara Blue Represents:

Tranquility, akin to a soothing river or a breath of fresh air. It embodies the essence of a peaceful relationship, characterized by trust, loyalty, and security. 

Niagara Falls Name: The mighty Niagara Falls are one of Canada’s greatest natural wonders, artistically dividing Canada from the United States. Our Niagara Blue dye is our original blue dye from a dye recipe over 35 years old. We think it contains the essence of this breathtaking beauty, taken directly from the relentlessly forceful falls themselves while celebrating the peaceful relations with our United States neighbours. This would be perfect for the person who values harmony, comfort and steadiness in their life but can also connect to adventure-seekers and those chasing dreams. 


**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.
