A Yarn with a Story
Monokrom Cotton is all about depth. Each skein is hand-dyed to create soft tonal variations, like layers of shadow and light in a single hue, giving your projects that extra bit of character.
Spun from 100% mercerised cotton in Türkiye, this yarn combines gentle sheen, breathable comfort and beautifully even stitches. The result? A go-to yarn that highlights texture, shows off stitch definition and wears beautifully.
And with every skein sold, you support Urth Yarns’ Knit One, Plant One initiative, planting a tree in Africa for every skein purchased.
