Rya
vowels Team
This dyed woven wool rug by a Finnish fiber artist is an example of the Rya style of rug. This style, whose name directly translates to "rug" in Swedish, is characterized by a structure of long wool piles made up of Ghiordes knots. In an interesting case of eponym, Rya is the name for both the type of wool, and the breed of Icelandic sheep it comes from, which are used to make this type of rug.
