The Finnish Rya (or ryijy) Rug - A crafting journey through time

[@maijalenna]

My grandmother gave me all the things I needed for a traditional rya to make for my trouseau. I made it in 1964 for my wedding.

Such a beautiful design and meticulous work!

Thank you for your video and fhe detailed historical explanation. I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much! The links you posted are priceless and thanks also for sharing the artist's links, the one who works with a loom. You finished piece is fantastic, don't forget to sign it and date it in the back, you can also embroider it and sew it on, because it is a keepsake you will leave for your descendants, it will be great for them to know about it! I will surely watch more of your videos I am a subscriber now! Thank you!

What a stunning piece of work! The rug, and the animation in the video editing, super job! I love all the included history too, so fascinating. The design is perfect 🙂 Thank you!

Mikä uskomaton projekti! 👏 Todella hypnoottinen video myös, todella rauhoittava.

This was a really interesting video, and watching the development of the rug with such beautiful motifs was delightful. Thank you for providing a comprehensive background history for this type of rug making, which really added to the video. It certainly provided food for thought regarding the revival and perpetuation of other traditional fabrics in a world of mass production. Thank you for sharing your work on this, which is much appreciated.

It would be wonderful to see your efforts to clean and restore the antique rug. I'd love to see it side by side with your amazing nee one!

[@jcortese3300]

That's absolutely beautiful, and I enjoyed the history that you told us as well.

[@mrsgingernoisette]

Watching this again now, I'm still pretty sure this is pure art..

[@HeavyColors]

The finished rug is so beautiful! Makes me want to learn to make it myself

[@withmyhandsdream]

If you want to try it, there are several small rya kits for beginners who want to try but aren’t ready for a huge project like mine.

[@turpasauna]

My grandma had one that dated to 1890. Thankfully it's still in the family.

[@shuttlepilot]

Beautiful rug, and lovely video. Learned a lot, and appreciate the quality of your vids : )

[@withmyhandsdream]

Thank you! I do my best!

[@lizmerritt8682]

Your work is beautiful as always.

[@withmyhandsdream]

Thank you!

[@stancalung5186]

What a wonderful rug!!! It turned out beautiful - as everything you make 💖 And, as usual I learned a lot from you (today especially about what the ruler is for - I have "inherited" 2 of the sort and had no idea what they were 😅). Thank you for showing us your wonderful work!! ❤

[@Ane_Rikke]

Lovely work! They do look like they have a lot in common with the norwegian rye. (though the most common modern rye here is perhaps the “fille-rye” - woven floor mats made out long strips of fabric scraps. And that is a different story/ technique 😊)

[@misse-jensen]

Wow, what a beautiful piece you have made❤❤❤❤ looooove it. In Denmark it's hard to get a rya rug kit😔 have to check out the website where you got yours from❤❤

[@SamDias0496]

Yes... This is art

[@mrsgingernoisette]

This is not a rug, this is art, pure art..

[@elleghe4560]

Upea!

[@suvimarja83]

Mistä olet tilannut ryjjy pakkauksen?

[@withmyhandsdream]

Kävin hakemassa suoraan Ryijypalvelusta Helsingin Oulunkylästä, kun asun lähiseudulla.

[@DoYouReallyNeedThis-h1t]

Ahahahahaahahahahahahahh. The Rally English and the slightly psychotic look in the eyes. So very Finnish. Also, it is not a fabric. It is a cover or a wall tapestry.
