Bio:
Rya is a traditional Nordic weaving technique in which long wool knots are tied onto a woven foundation, creating a dense and tactile surface. In Sweden, the technique was further developed throughout the 20th century and became prominent in textile art and interior design. During the 1960s and 70s, rya textiles were often produced in pure wool with geometric patterns, varied pile heights and carefully balanced colour combinations.
