Stacy Charles Ritratto

Today we focus on Ritratto from the Stacy Charles Collection at Village Yarns.

Ritratto compliments our Mohair yarn grouping with a lovely Metallic thread wrapping it's way around painted brushed Kid Mohair and Viscose resulting in a divine blend of fibres.



A pretty yarn for garments and accessories, Ritratto is a DK or Double Knitting weight yarn for use with garments knitting on a 3.75-4mm needle. Don't hesitate to knit on a larger needle for a more open fabric with lots of drape for shawls and scarves. Gauntlets and gloves knit up very pretty in Ritratto bringing a lovely accent to fall and winter clothing.
