Named after the Japanese term for ‘the first day of winter’, Noro's Rittou yarn combines the warmth of wool and the durability of mohair, with the soft strength of silk. Rittou marks the end of autumn where all the colors from the leaves begin to turn brown, as they fall from the tree branch. Each colorway has a natural brown wool blended in to give all colorways an autumn tone. The colorways are reminiscent of the dwindling golden sunsets of late autumn, the snow-covered landscapes winter is known for, and the holiday lights adorning the icy streets below. Rittou comes in a generous-sized egg- 150 grams per 361 yards. Welcoming the winter months, one skein at a time.
