EST:  Kust need seelikud nii triibuliseks saavad? Ikka loodusest. Aga kust tuleb saarte seelikutesse kollane? I maailmasõja ajal hukkus Läänemerel laevu, nende varudest uhuti kaldale miine. Ja miinid sisaldasid lõhkeainet nimega pikriinhape (miinikollane). Sellega keedetud lõng sai kenasti kollaseks.

ENG:  Where do these skirts get their stripes? From nature. But where does yellow come from? During World War I, when ships drowned in Baltic Sea, mines were washed ashore. Sea mines contained an explosive called picric acid (mine yellow). Yarn boilded with it turned nice yellow color.
