#16 Sweetgrass Green Dye

$2.25

Sweetgrass Eggshell Pysanka Dye is our warm green colour dye.

This colour is halfway between yellow and green and is a perky colour but its warmth is toned down by the bits of green and gold. This is a fun colour to use with borders & leaves and goes amazingly well with Crown Purple, Monarch Orange, Okanagan Wine, some of our richer dye colours and yet can stand alone with Orca Black in a stunning two colour pysanka.  

Sweetgrass Represents:

New life, growth, health, healing and gratitude. This invigorating colour has been used for centuries across many cultures to express gratitude and commemorate special occasions. 


Sweetgrass Name: One of the four sacred herbs of the First Nations peoples, sweetgrass is known to have a sweet vanilla scent. The Sweetgrass dye takes the beauty of sweetgrass and transfers its pleasantry into vibrant colour. Its beautiful combination of warm and cool tones brings calmness and serenity to any pysanka and is perfect for those seeking comfort, assurance and those celebrating special events in their lives. 

**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.
