This is a rich red pysanka dye. It's glorious and fun to use. It covers fast and strong with a very rich red colour. Play around and have fun. Kalyna Red is a perfect colour to follow Yukon Gold and Tofino Sunset in a traditional pysanka design.
Kalyna Red Tip: Sometimes covers too strong and will not let another colour cover it. If this is the case, wash back with ivory dish soap (or other dish soap), dip back in a vinegar bath to prepare the eggshell to take another dye and then dye again.
Kalyna Red Represents:
Happiness, hope, abundance and above all, nurturing love and maternal instincts. Perfect for honouring new mothers or for those seeking inspiration from the resilient women in their lives.
Kalyna Red Name: Symbolic of beauty and family, among other things, Kalyna is an ethnic and national symbol of Ukraine. The Kalyna berries are known for their gloriously red hue. Our Kalyna Red dye also represents resilience and the ability to overcome adversity. It is a reminder that with faith, love, and hope, anything can be achieved. This colour encourages us to embrace our inner spirit and face life’s challenges with courage.
Kalyna is very special to all Ukrainians and why here in Canada and in other places around the globe, you find dance groups, Ukrainian stores and groups called Kalyna! Ukrainians carried their heritage here to Canada and so today, we honour all who brought their culture and especially this art form of Pysanky to share with us and the rest of the world!!
