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.
