Star Seller. This seller consistently earned 5-star reviews, shipped on time, and replied quickly to any messages they received.

Handmade
Materials: rya, rug, yarn, wool, Rya book, rya rugs book, yarn samples, graph paper, needles, Needle organizer, wool and linen backing, Swedish rya backing

A great gift for your budding rya artist or a treat for yourself.
You are going to wish you had all these items, but you don't know it yet. Might as well get them all at once so you don't have to put your supplies together piecemeal.
If you already the my book RYA RUGS--Design and Make Your Own, check out my listing for this same offer without the book.

If you don't have the book, it is a great way to get oriented and a very fun read as well according to reviews.
In this listing you have the choice of a paperback cover or a hardback cover. Both are exceptional quality covers and the paperback is $10 less.

If you would like me to make a few knots on your backing as samples, tell me in a note if you are right- or left-handed.

This Designers Package Includes:
* RYA RUGS Book with your choice of cover
* Byrdcall Studio's Rya Yarn Samples with over 200 colors. * Byrdcall Studio's Rya Yarn Samples with over 200 colors (NOTE! 11/29/23 While the wool company in Norway is behind schedule in making sample cards, I have to omit the "real" yarn sample cards from this package. Instead I will include high quality photo and sample strands for you to touch. I have reduced the cost of this package accordingly. Apologies for this substitution, but it is out of my control. If you place an order, ask me to gather the yarns in your order and send you photos of them to be sure they look as you expect.

* Your Choice of Backing & Size: Wool and Cotton Woven backing from Sweden 24" x 30" OR Wool and linen 16" x 30" gray backing from Norway. (Convo me if you want a different size and I can adjust your order BEFORE you place it.)
* Pack of 10 #13 Tapestry Needles
* Handmade Wood Needle Organizer -- I will give you a random block unless you request a certain type of wood. Current choices are MAPLE or Tulip Poplar
* A sheet of graph paper with the proper number of "squares" to match the ray weave of your backing
* A Threading Card with holes punched for organizing your color blendings when you are ready

If you want more indulgence, request that I add a long strand of every color of Rauma Ryegarn--it's called a PONYTAIL and adds $40 to package. https://www.etsy.com/listing/775722203/for-the-rya-rug-designer-a-skein-with-a?ref=shop_home_active_23

Of course the yarn for knotting your rya isn't included because you have to read the book to help you figure out a design, make a few choices including the colors, then I have all the yarn you could need when you are ready for it.... or maybe you have an appropriate yarn stash. Seeing my samples will help you assess your stash potential.

This is a new listing, so help me figure out what questions you have so I can add to the write up.

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.

Great product, and as the listing says, it really does have everything you need. It's great to have all the colors and accessories, and Melissa's love of rya shines through every page of the book!

Received my order today and I am so impressed how personal it is. Hand written notes, sample knots to get me started! I could not be more impressed! Thank you for keeping this art alive. I was able to make a rya know right out of the box!

Wow a lot of information in this stater kit. Still need to decide on a design and colors but looking forward to trying this new craft out. Item delivered as promised and the seller really cares about sharing and helping new people enjoy and learn this type of weaving.
