Eclipse Rya
Designed by Christine Novotny
In 2024, North America experienced a total eclipse, an astrological event that brought ethereal wonder to many of our lives. This rug-style Rya takes inspiration from the event, combining darker valued colors in a cascading dusky spiral. This small project is an excellent place to learn about rug-style Ryas, or creating a strong sturdy textile with a thicker pile. Due to the limited yardage requirements for the Rya knots, this makes an excellent stash buster project. Order a kit.
