Announcement    Nordic supplies are back in stock! Hooray! I have relisted kits that had been removed a year or so ago. Feel free to ask me questions if anything is unclear.

Let Byrdcall Studio introduce you--or reintroduce you--to the art of Rya Rug Making. I was born into a rya rug family and now share the Nordic traditions with you along with all the traditional supplies and a recently published book on Rya by me, Melinda Purcell Byrd. This shop and Studio is run solely by myself and I take great pride in sharing my rya knowledge and skills with you.

Check out the kits and a great way to get started. I carry the wool and linen woven backings of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. I have been working in rya professionally and as a hobby for about 50 years. I started when I was a child. My grandparents, the Lundgrens of Lundgren Rya gave me my first supplies and told me to design my own!

Rya enthusiasts can be happy to have found not only a source for excellent quality rya supplies, but also a wealth of information on rya rug making. To keep informed, please sign up for my monthly newsletter by going to my website, www.byrdcallstudio.com, and sign up.

In 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, I published a book I had been working on for over 8 years. It is RYA RUGS--Design and Make Your Own. Cut-and-paste this link to go to Youtube: https://www.etsy.com/listing/764507084/rya-rugs-design-and-make-your-own-is-for?ref=shop_home_feat_1

I hope you enjoy looking at the wide variety of work I do. If you are wondering why I have such a wide range of arts in my shop, it is because these are all things I am passionate about. Before I jumped into being "the Rya Revitalist" with both feet, I was active as a printmaker and visual art painter. That is why you will also find some of these works in my Etsy shop.

Keep coming back to see new additions.

Cheers and peace,
Melinda

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a loom or special equipment in order to make a rya rug from Byrdcall Studio?

No, you don't need anything more technical than a good pair of scissors. The kit comes with the design, a card with all of the color combinations prepared for you, instructions in English, needles, and some kits come with a ruler tool for wrapping the rya loop around to make the loops consistent. If you happen to have a loom, you could make your own rya with rya yarns that I sell, but 99% of my customers do not weave.

Do you give a price break for people who have already made several rya rugs?

Yes, if you have plenty of #13 tapestry needles and the ruler stick that is part of all the Rauma kits from Norway, send me a conversation telling me so before you order a kit, and I will list the kit you want with a $10 deduction and not send you more needles nor the ruler.
