Yukon Gold is a great first colour for your pysanka. It's a richer yellow than Canola Yellow and brings a true depth to your pysanky designs. Though it isn't a true gold, it looks like it has specks of gold in the dye bath. This dye tends to need a new mix every year but at $1.50 a package it's worth it's weight in gold.
The colour of Yukon Gold represents illumination, wisdom and spirituality as well as success, achievement, courage, and passion.
In days of old, the Canadian world went wild for an incredible discovery in the Yukon. When a gold nugget was found in the Klondike River in 1896, prospectors from across the nation travelled to the Yukon in search of fortune. We have commemorated one of the greatest economically-charged migration in Canadian history by making the colour sought out by the brave and bold available to all.
