Where to Buy Pysanka Supplies - Canada
The only suppliers of pysanky-making materials I know of are listed here.
If there isn't one in near you, choose one of the companies that provide mail order.
Or check out your local craft chain stores, some sell supplies during the pre-Easter season.
If you discover that a supplier has stopped selling supplies
please email me so I can update this listing. Thanks.
If you know of any suppliers of pysanky materials, especially in
Europe or Australia,
please send me their name and address (and phone number/email, if possible). The more, the merrier!
Thanks again.
