This complete rya rug kit titled "Gry" was designed by Aasgerd Lie in Norway. It is available in 5 sizes. This one is 80 x 150 cm or 31" x 59". It is made with a combination of two types of rya yarns from the heritage breed Spaelsau from Norway. See the photo with your choice of colors. There is also a listing for a larger one just like this one: 60 x 110 cm or 24" x 43" for $350.
The photos are of the smaller kiy, but yours will be put together just for you. Please select from the thre color combinations available.
YOU can make this amazing rya! The shading is subtle, but rich. No loom is necessary. This kit has everything you need to make it.
I make it easy for you by actually 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. (I am working on a book on designing and making your own rya which should be completed ... just as soon as it is completed!) ;-)
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
To see the process, and learn more about the history, watch the video I did in 2012 on Youtube before I got into the business of getting rya going again as a fine craft of Scandinavia.

Take a look at other rya supply listings I have here on etsy to get an idea of where you might go on your next project.
Since I released the video, it has been seen by over a quarter million viewers. I have committed my life now to bringing back off-loom rya rug making. I have hundreds of designs and will slowly be releasing kits here as I get them ready. A kit is a good place to start.
The ruler stick (kavel) is included in the kit to help you keep the pile all the same length so you will have plenty of yarn. But should you happen to make longer than standard loops, and if you run out of a color, I do carry all the Rauma rya yarn colors in stock and would be happy to sell you small amounts to finish your project. I am willing to break skeins in 3/4, 1/2, or 1/4 skein units without charging extra for you.
Another place to learn more is on my recent blog postings where I document the actual making of a rug! http://byrdcallstudio.com/blog-2/ Or go the byrdcallstudio.com and click on The Byrdcall Blog. Fun photos and more ryas. Check out my most recent blog featuring Rauma Rya rugs.

While not a necessity, the Needle Organizer is very helpful and can be added to this order easily. Check it out: https://www.etsy.com/listing/217611286/needle-and-yarn-organizer-and-threader?ref=shop_home_active_11
Feel free to ask questions. Many thanks for looking.
And, YES, I will ship to any country, but I do not listing the postage prices because it can vary so much. Just convo me and tell me what country you are from and what you want. I'll tell you how much the shipping will be, then will do a special listing for you. Thanks.
Thanks for reading all the way to the end here. Any questions?
