Kilde in Grays

Ready to go! This complete Norwegian rya rug kit titled “Kilde” was designed by Åse Øyen. It is available as a kit for you to make in two sizes: 60 x 110 cm or 23.5″ x 43.3″ OR 55″ x 79″  (140 x 200 cm)–available on Norwegian backing
You have four choices for color combinations. Please send me a photo of your completed rya if you make it so I can share with others. I only have the photo of this Gray one and the Orange-Brown but the others would be lovely, too.  While the Norwegian woven backings are not being woven at this time (summer 2022), this order will be fulfilled on Swedish-woven wool and cotton backing of the same dimensions: 23.5″ x 43.3″.  Feel free to ask if you have any questions in advance of making your purchase.

The yarn is virgin wool from the Spaelsau sheep in Norway coarse and resilient. The backing is woven of heavy wool and linen in the traditional manner.
You make the knots with a needle threaded with two strands of rya yarn (ryegarn). I make it easy for you by starting the first row for you and adding detailed instructions which I translated from Norwegian to English. I also am available to give advice through the process if you need it.

The Kit includes everything you need:
Needles
Ruler (kavel) for keep loop length consistent
Hemmed and bound woven backing
Yarn required plus a little extra for wiggle room
graph
color threading card prepared by me
Instructions translated from Norwegian by me.

I am available to answer any questions you might have: byrdcallstudio@gmail.com
