A rya is a traditional Scandinavian textile, woven and hand knotted with a 1-3 inch pile. The textile has been known in Scandinavia since the bronze age, brought by the Vikings from Russia and the Byzantine Empire. They were originally used as warming coverlets, replacing sheepskins, and became increasingly decorative throughout the ages. The textile was handcrafted and used in all segments of society. By the 20th century, ryas were primarily used as decorative rugs and wall hangings. Influenced by the International Style movement, the Swedish modernists started combining the traditional craft with avant garde expressions.
