Discover the timeless craft of pysanky with this complete Ukrainian Egg Kit.
Catalog number KIT2 includes everything needed to begin creating traditional wax‑resist eggs: 6 vibrant dyes (yellow, orange, scarlet, light blue, light green, black), beeswax, 1 medium traditional kistka, and 21 classic designs with step‑by‑step instructions.
Pysanky is a beautifully geometric and meditative process. You begin by penciling divisions on the egg, building the design layer by layer. Melted beeswax is applied with the kistka to preserve each color as the egg moves through successive dye baths. The result is a richly patterned, meaningful piece of folk art.
This kit is inspired by years of family tradition—quiet evenings during Lent spent drawing, waxing, and dyeing eggs, with children joining in as they grew old enough to handle the tools. It’s a craft that invites patience, attention to detail, and a sense of humility as each egg reveals its final design.
Whether you’re continuing a heritage practice or discovering pysanky for the first time, KIT2 provides a warm, accessible entry into this cherished art form.
