Frequently Asked Questions

Why are woven baskets used to carry decorated eggs during spring holidays?

How were natural egg dyes traditionally made at home?
People boiled vegetables and plant parts in water with a splash of vinegar to extract natural colors. Yellow onion skins created golden shades, purple cabbage produced blue hues, and turmeric yielded vibrant yellow dye.
What materials are traditionally used to weave sturdy baskets?
Flexible plant materials like willow osiers, rattan vines, split oak wood, and reed stalks are harvested, dried, and soaked in water to make them pliable for weaving.
