Meet Rainbow Deluxe; the extra-durable member of our large Rainbow family. The Deluxe version is made from 100% combed Turkish cotton, which is soft, flexible, and exceptionally durable.
Turkish cotton is known and loved for its natural shine and extra-long fibers. The length of the fibers has a lot to say when it comes to spinning a fine and smooth cotton yarn that’s resilient and especially durable. Textiles in Turkish cotton stay beautiful for many years and only get softer with use.
Rainbow Deluxe also excels when it comes to its absorbing powers, but is quick-drying at the same time. It creates the perfect balance in a soft cotton yarn that is well-suited for things like exquisite towels and interior textiles as well as blouses, tops, and cute summer styles.
If you love amigurumi, there are lots of opportunities to play around with color combinations since Rainbow Deluxe can be easily combined with other Rainbow 8/4 yarns. When it comes to fit, we recommend that you keep to one version when knitting/crocheting clothing.
Like our other 100% cotton yarns, Rainbow Deluxe can withstand warm wash - but washing at higher temperatures will inevitably make the colors fade over time. Unless you’re knitting/crocheting dishcloths or towels we recommend that you wash them at a max of 104°F (40°C).
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-376). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

I absolutely love this! And it has firmly claimed its place as one of my favourite ever finer yarns! 😊
It really is super soft and very pleasing to the touch. Retaining its softness in stitch. I personally have also found it to be gentle on the skin and it doesn't seem to irritate. (Sensitive!)
I also found it to glide easily and very pleasing to work with.
Again, being a finer yarn, it may be a good idea to purchase a little more than required, as the thread is fairly dense and doesn't have so much in the way of a squish! Although this in no way negaitively impacts the overall feel of the product.
Colour number 15 is my favourite, thus far. It really is the most beautiful shade of silver/grey, and in my opinion atleast, would work with with pretty much any other colour!
An all-round lovely yarn that could lend itself to most projects, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough! 😊
Thank you, Hobbii! 😊

Love love this yarn. I used it to go with a rainbow variegated yarn which unfortunately is no longer available. It’s an absolute dream to work with. I’ve used about 12 balls of it so far and I don’t believe I’ve had any joins in a ball yet. It’s sooo soft to work with!! I’ll definitely use this in the future again.

I ordered three balls of this yarn to try out on a small amigurumi project, and have to say that I absolutely love it. Easy to work with on a 2.75 hook, no splitting, and just overall a good cotton yarn...so have now ordered a larger amount to make more wonderful animal amigurumi's.

It’s a very good quality yarn. I bought 3 skeins to use as contrasting colours. It’s so soft and shiny. I wish I had ordered more of these. Hobbii rainbow 🌈 deluxe 8/4 seems thicker than the Cotton Kings sultan deluxe, which also a 4ply cotton yarn.

Love love love this yarn. Its quite fine and I found a 3mm hook to be perfect for working with this yarn. I recently made a summer poncho in shades 26, 27,28,29 and 30 and it came out beautiful. I'll definitely de buying more in the future
