Rya Rugs

I just discovered these scandinavian wool rugs and love them! I purchased two small ones last weekend and put them in my kitchen. They really have added a lot of coziness and bohemian flair to the room.

I did a bit of research on them and found out they were very popular back in the 60s and 70s. A lot of people used them as wall hangings. And, their roots date back as far as the 15th century, when scandinavian fisherman and hunters wore them rather than furs (that was nice of them). They've even been used as ceremonial wedding rugs! They come in a lot of different colors, sizes, and patterns.
