UKRAINIAN Kistky

A Ukrainian kitska is wax stylUs for applying designs with wax on eggs to make a Ukrainian Easter Egg or Pysanka. They are a simple yet effective tool .

the Ukrainian kitsky is unique in that it has a brass cup to hold melted wax and a brass nin for applying the wax.

This Kitsky is one of the sturdiest kitsky we carry and is very well made. If you already know you love to write pysanky this would be a great investment for your tool kit,

To use: Heat the kitsky in the flame of a candle, when hot scoop a small bit of beeswax into the cup and the wax will melt and "draw" on an egg when applied with the kitsky.

The size of the kitsky determines the weight of the line made.

I've found that the heavier the weight the easier it is to get the hang of applying the wax especially if you're new to this craft.
