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 the 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 the gradual color changes appear.

The yarn is OEKO-TEX® certified (no. 1976-294). Find more information about the certification on the https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/.
