Bio:
Rya is a traditional Nordic weaving technique in which wool knots are tied onto a woven foundation to create a dense, soft pile. In Sweden, rya was further developed throughout the 20th century and became a significant part of modern Swedish textile design. During the 1960s and 70s, geometric patterns, strong colour contrasts and pure wool were characteristic features of many Swedish rya carpets.
