Book excerpt: Learn the art of designing and making a Nordic traditions rya rug. With this book, you can make authentic, heirloom-quality rya rugs without a loom or special equipment and enjoy them as art on the walls, floors, beds, and more. Ryas have a long history. In the days of the Vikings, ryas were woven on looms with a wool pile that gave warm insulation in the cold winters as warm cloaks on a freezing sea, sleigh blankets, and as bed coverings. After World War II, Nordic countries marketed their signature crafts around the world. They wove backings, spun hardy rya yarns, and designed kits easily made by beginners. These industries thrived throughout the midcentury modern era, but suddenly supplies became difficult to find when fashions trends changed. From the late 1970s to recent times, not only supplies, but experienced teachers were very hard to find. Melinda Purcell Byrd was born into a rya rug family. Her grandparents, Bill and Angelina Lundgren from Northboro, Massachusetts began importing Swedish rya supplies the year she was born. They established a thriving business by providing kits and custom designs in rya across the United States. Melinda designed and made her first when she was 11 years old. After college, she worked with her grandparents as designer, teacher, and business manager becoming proficient in all things rya. After fashions trends changed, Lundgren Rya, along with dozens of other suppliers in the USA and Europe closed their doors.Thirty years later Byrd has used her experience and the Internet to revive rya rug making and provide a resource for currently available supplies as well as teach how to use them. In her book, history of how this craft began, thrived, and was nearly lost is shared. She demystifies the designing process and gives detailed examples of various designing techniques for right-brained and left-brained thinkers. You'll find personal story profiles of other rya pilgrims, innovators, and visionaries to inspire you. Full of colorful illustrative photos by award-winning photographer, Ken Koons, this book will move you to join the rya rug revival and make your own rya rugs!

AND - one of my husband's friends bought it the moment I put in the last stitch. He said his sister "loves this stuff" and bought it for her for a Christmas present. I had no idea what to charge so I told him $35.00 and he ordered a second one!I never even left my rocking chair and made $70.00 -This is great! Not only is it profitable but I love it!I knew if I lived long enough I'd find something that I truly loved, that I could afford to do and put a little 'pin money' as my mother used to call it,in my hand. Boy, am I glad you have a web site.Diane, New York""Dear Ruglady,To begin with, I want to thank you for your words of encouragement. After making many crocheted rugs and selling them to friends, I decided to try our local farmers market. In order to build up an inventory, this meant ordering lots of fabric and spending lots of money. I'm not good at spending money as I always worry about never having enough. Your kind words helped me climb that wall of self-doubt and I now have a flourishing business. My only problem now? Too little time and too many orders! I don't suppose you can help me with that one? Carol""GUESS WHAT? Last week a small craft shop offered to sell my rag baskets and rag rugs that I make!!!! I just mentioned in conversation what kind of craft that I make and since that was something different than what they sell already, they asked if I could bring in some of my items to show them!!! They were very interested in what I do and offered to sell them at their store. THAT'S TWO STORES THAT WANT MY WORK!!!! I'm thrilled and I wish there are more hours in the day to make my rugs and baskets Just thought I'd share this with you. I'm excited how this all came about... Thank you for your encouragement! I sincerely appreciate it!Thanks a million! Have a blessed day!SharonGridley, IL"
