Sultan Deluxe Shine is the glamorous version of Sultan Deluxe. Here, you get the same fabulous cake yarn made from soft cotton, but the beautiful colors and color changes are now accompanied by a fine, thin glitter thread.
Sultan Deluxe Shine is incredible to work with. Like many other cake yarns, the yarn consists of four thin cotton strands, but here the yarn is lightly twined. It makes it noticeably easier to pick up all four strands when you crochet or knit.
The characteristic color changes develop gradually over the running length of 1000 meters (1093 yd). The colors only change one strand at a time, which makes for long, gradual color changes. It creates the most beautiful plays of color that are now accompanied by a bit of bling from the glitter thread.
Of course, you can crochet as well as knit with Sultan Deluxe Shine. However, you should note that you generally use less yarn for knitting than crochet, so you may end up with leftover yarn if you, for example, choose to knit a shawl. It’s not usually a problem, but it’s a good idea to start with the color that you want to be the dominant color in the shawl.
Sultan Deluxe Shine is incredibly well-suited for shawls and scarves where you want to put extra focus on the colorways. However, the yarn is also really pretty when used for tops, blouses, or tunics that get a dip-dye effect when gradual color changes appear.

I wasn’t sure starting out how this would look. Now I just can’t stop looking at it. I’ve only been crocheting for 3 months and this yarn has elevated my confidence so much. It just worked up so beautifully and I’ve had so many compliments on this shawl and the how I managed the colour changes. Little do they know it’s all the yarn and not me!

I’ve worked with two cakes of the shine version: Regent Rose and Imperial Purple. The thread of glitter is subtle and you have to be careful to make sure you catch the thread on each stitch. However, it adds the prettiest glimmer to the finished object (I made one shawl and currently working on another one). I think it adds something special.

It’s so SHINY!
I was a little bit concerning about the shining thread whether it’s going to itch. So I only ordered 1 cake for trial. It came today, so soft, no itchy. Can’t wait to start with it.

Really lovely yarn, it works up really well: I’m currently making one of the free shawl patterns from Hobbii and this yarn works up beautifully. It’s very soft and the sparkle is lovely
Cath
So soft and yet allows great definition in stitches. The colourways are beautiful, I'm currently crocheting with Imperial Purple and each colour change adds to my delight with it.
