About RYVOAN

Inspired by the natural colours and intricate textures found in the Scottish Cairngorms, RYVOAN captures the essence of the ever shifting seasons and landscapes. Connecting place and protection, our knitwear is designed to endure the very landscapes that inspired it.

RYVOAN aims to embody the ethos of small-scale production and slow design. Each piece is handmade with care on a domestic knitting machine, before the seems are linked together and then washed just right to produce a super soft & fluffy finish. Every step of the garment making process is mindful of traditional knitting techniques embracing hand powered skills and methods.

Committed to Scotlands rich textile heritage, every garment and accessory is knitted with the softest blends of 100% wool to ensure warmth and comfort in wild and wonderful places.

A bit about me & RYVOAN

After graduating from The Glasgow School of art in 2023 with a degree in Textile Design specialising in Knit, I re-started RYVOAN, a side project I had started midway through my final year of university. No longer having to juggle course work & Degree Show preparation I was able to grow RYVOAN into a small business, designing and making each piece from my Edinburgh based studio. With a passion for trail running & being in the Scottish mountains, I find endless inspiration within the landscape to be captured in the colours & textures of my textile design. I wanted RYVOAN to represent the connection between place and product, with the idea that your knitwear is inspired by the same rugged & beautiful places its designed to protect and keep you warm in.

Thank you,

wishing you warmth & comfort in wool xox
