What is Rya rug making?
Rya rug making is a traditional style of Scandinavian rug making. It incorporates a technique of knotting that creates a double-sided pile, making Rya rugs particularly cozy and luxurious underfoot. They are traditionally made of wool. Shop a variety of Rya rugs from some of the top sellers worldwide on 1stDibs.
