S.Charles Collezione Ritratto
We think Ritratto is one of the prettiest yarns on the market. The mohair makes it slightly fuzzy, the metallic thread gives it a nice sparkle and layers of color make it a truly beautiful yarn. Ritratto is also a great addition to handwoven projects! Made in Italy.

Comments about S.Charles Collezione Ritratto:
I have looked at this yarn since I found it on the Web and drooled. I thought I would never be able to save enough money for three skeins for the Thaki Shrug. Lo and behold, after several exchanges I am now in posession. Knits beautifully and the three colors blend so well as they progress.

Comments about S.Charles Collezione Ritratto:
I really have no complaints with this product. The color combinations are beautiful and it works up really well. I crochet, but it would be equally good for knitting. I bought the Copper/Gold and plan to buy the Magenta/Orange soon.
Service and delivery comments:
I am always completely satisified with the service I get from WEBS, which is why I find myself on this website more often than I probably should.

Comments about S.Charles Collezione Ritratto:
I paired this yarn with black eyelash, knitted a long rectangular wrap/scarf with Large needles and yarnovers. It is beautiful and I get compliments everytime I wear it. I orig. bought this yarn just because it was sooooo beautiful. I would be happy putting it in a fruit bowl on my dining room table just to look at! I have another 5 balls, I would like to find a hat pattern, beret type.
