U E #20 Viking Violet Pysanka Dye

This new “Viking Violet” is beyond powerful! It dyes in seconds without a film and has a bit of a metallic look to it. It's an amazing last dye and goes very well with Canola Yellow, Monarch Orange, Borealis Green and would make a stunning "one colour" pysanka. Viking Violet Tip: It would seem that a pysanka dyed with Viking Violet could manage with a matt varnish as sometimes the sheen will go away after varnishing. Viking Violet represents awareness, reflection, faith, trust and fasting while encouraging creativity, spirituality and reflection. 1000 years ago, Canada had Vikings. They sailed from Greenland and settled at the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. When we think of Vikings we think of rugged, ruthless and strong. I love that the women were resourceful and used natural dyes to give colour to their clothes. I wonder if they ever used natural dyes to colour eggs? Viking Violet may not be a natural dye but it is bold & powerful and represents the Viking spirit to a tee. Vikings used motifs to carve pictures on stones. One of these motifs is now on the egg of our Viking Violet dye package.
