  • How long can you keep the prepared dye for? I've never made pysanky but I will be starting to, and I originally thought that the dye was a one time use until I saw this video. Thanks for the great video! :)

  • @Ashesela In theory you can keep prepared pysanky dyes indefinitely as long as they are stored properly in an air-tight container. The pigments do not fade over time, and the vinegar in the water helps preserve it. However after 25 or so dips into the container by 25 different eggs, inevitiably some "junk" will begin to form from deposits on the egg. You can clean the dyes as demonstrated in this video, or for $1/pack from PysankyUSA, you can just purchase a replacement dye. :) Hope this helps!
