Passion, creativity, and spiritual awareness. This vibrant hue is the embodiment of emotional expression and is a harmonious fusion of intensity and serenity. 

Magenta Fireweed Name:  Fireweed is the provincial flower of the Yukon, and is named because of its ability to quickly regrow after a fire. It’s stunning colours perfectly capture the beauty of our Magenta Fireweed Eggshell Pysanky Dye. One fun fact about the colour Magenta, is that it was the first synthetic aniline dye made in 1856 and patented in 1859. Magenta began the aniline dye revolution with many dye colours stemming from this one colour. Today you'll also know that Magenta is one of the three colours used in ink printing. This is great choice for those who want to get unstuck or are looking for something new. 

**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.
