Riitta’s work varies from rugs, wall hangings and framed pieces to colourful table linen, scarves and handmade greeting cards incorporating woven samples. She likes to explore traditional weaves and techniques in creating contemporary textiles. Linen is her speciality but other fibres are also used. Her work is a unique reflection of her Finnish background and her love for the Pembrokeshire landscape which provides her with constant inspiration. Her colours echo the seasonal changes in the landscape and light.
Riitta’s rugs are woven in wool on linen warp and the yarns are always dyed especially for each rug, making them all unique and unrepeatable. Her wall hangings and framed pieces are woven mainly in linen but can also include other fibres like wool, silk and paper yarn.
