Aptly named, ‘Curiosities, the Fall/Winter 2026/27 collection by Italian yarn expert Monticolor is inspired by Wybderkammer or cabinet of curiosities.
Promising to take knitwear on a tactile and visual adventure, the collection offers a new yarns collection that grants designers not just freedom to express their thoughts but also an opportunity to explore new possibilities, and sophisticated sustainability.
Infused with a rich, exploratory spirit, Monticolor’s new yarns collection focuses on three distinct creative themes: Gothic Novels, Modern Fairytales, and Incredible Creatures. Each of these themes interprets the season’s mood through unique textures, compelling color palettes, and ethically sourced fibers.
The Gothic Novels theme evokes moody contrasts and mysterious elegance. Yarns like Arctic Sense and Nordic Sense exemplify this with their refined blends of OCS-certified organic cotton and cashmere, subtly highlighted by soft mother-of-pearl effects. This dramatic narrative is further enhanced by sequins, lamé brocades, and openwork structures.
The Twinkle Sense theme adds a delicate shimmer to neutral bases, completing the story. The Nordic inspiration continues with Inuit Merino and Polar Merino, both crafted from RWS-certified Extrafine Merino Wool wrapped in organic cotton. These yarns deliver bold color contrasts, three-dimensional textures, and a uniquely light yet warm feel.
In Modern Fairytales, Monticolor reinterprets beloved childhood narratives with a contemporary twist. Nostalgic textures such as bouclé and tweed lend an artisanal elegance. A cashmere-organic cotton blend, Tweed Sense features irregular yarn textures and rich jaspé tones, including denim-inspired blues and heathered grays. This allows designers to explore both whimsical and refined aesthetics.
Finally, bringing the surreal to life, Incredible Creatures merges artificial intelligence with vivid yarn design. The standout Bio Velvety is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, forming a superfine chenille. This makes it an ideal, plush, and lightweight alternative to traditional velvet for modern knitted garments, offering both comfort and innovation.
Thus Monticolor's latest collection reinforces the company’s position as a forward-thinking yarn house committed to sustainability, superior craftsmanship, and boundless creative expression, perfectly aligning with the evolving needs of knitwear designers worldwide.
