Scandinavian Modern High Pile Straw Yellow Handmade Wool Rya Rug, Sweden 1960s
About the Item
This Scandinavian Modern high-pile wool rya rug has soft, vivid tones of straw yellow, which brings a calm elegance to this piece. The yarn is knotted using two different hues of yellow in the same knot making this very vivid. The high pile creates a dynamic surface that shifts slightly depending on how it's brushed.
Whether used as a rug, wall hanging, blanket, or draped over a sofa or chair, this piece adds warmth and style to any space, complementing rattan chairs beautifully. Perfectly sized for beside the bed, it provides a soft, cozy landing for your feet each morning.
Hand-knotted with high-quality "Kamgarn" wool yarn, crafted through a worsted spinning process that aligns fibers for a smoother and more refined finish than standard wool. The base of the rug is woven from a blend of wool and linen for added durability.
This original high-pile rya rug, created in Sweden during the 1960s, features an organic design in true Scandinavian style. Its timeless craftsmanship and striking simplicity make it a captivating addition to any home, perfect for adding character to any room.
ABOUT SWEDISH RYA RUGS
Rya rugs were often displayed in homes as wedding mementos and passed down through generations as family heirlooms. These traditional Scandinavian wool rugs feature a long pile and are crafted using the Ghiordes knot to create double-sided fabric. Originally used by 15th-century mariners as bed covers, ryas gradually became lighter and more colorful. Offering excellent insulation, they are made from knotted wool, creating rich textures. By the 17th century, ryas became decorative and were often used in weddings. In the 1970s, they gained popularity in the U.S. for their warmth during the oil crisis. Swedish rya rugs are known for their vibrant colors, thick shaggy piles, and durability, making them chic and long-lasting.
