Let your creativity flow with Sultan Shadow: a stunning cotton cake yarn that brings soft texture and breathtaking colour transitions to every stitch.
Sultan Shadow is made from 100% pure, soft cotton and features a unique construction of 4 untwisted strands. The yarn is designed with beautiful long colour changes, shifting gently from one hue to the next. The transitions happen gradually, one strand at a time, creating a subtle gradient effect. Where the colour shift occurs, you will notice a small knot in one of the four threads: a natural part of the yarn's construction. Many crafters work right past it, but you can also trim and weave in the end for an even smoother finish.
The Shadow palette is bold and dramatic. Each cake starts with a bright, vibrant colour at the center and gradually fades into deep black toward the outside. This creates a striking ombré effect that adds intensity and contrast to your finished pieces: perfect for making a statement.
Its construction gives the yarn a light, airy drape and makes it especially suited for projects where flow and movement matter. Such as shawls, afghans, baby blankets, and summery garments. With a generous 800 metres per 200-gram cake, most shawls and scarves can be completed with just one cake. It is a perfect match for those who love large, continuous pieces with minimal ends to weave in.
Sultan Shadow is your go-to yarn for airy, elegant creations with bold colour stories that fade into darkness.
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2076-311). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/
Pro tip: Before using the Sultan Shadow skein, run the 4 threads through a bead so the threads are gathered throughout the work.

I bought Sultan Shadow for my partner and daughter, and made them both a shawl out of it. They both loved it, and I loved working with it! I was surprised at first as it's 4 separate strands, much like embroidery floss. I was only used to working with acrylic yarn before this, so it took a bit of getting used to, as it was thinner, too. However, I got the hand of it quite quickly and soon really enjoyed working with it! The yarn comes out of the cake very easily, didn't have to worry about anything knotting up or getting tangled, and it flowed through my hands and hook nice and smooth as well. With acrylic yarn I usually struggle a little as the yarn often squeaks, even though my tension isn't tight. This yarn however is amazing. It's super soft and light. I will definitely be buying more of this, and am already looking at other Cotton King yarns, as I'm sure they're just as amazing as this one!

So, after waiting for far too long, I finally decided to treat myself to shadow. 😊 And what a great decision it was! Haha. I bought 3 balls - turquoise, purple and pink for some upcoming projects, and was not disapointed at all.
The overall blend and effect of the colours against the black? Amazing. The purple was slightly less bright that I had imagined, however none the less beautiful. The yarn is not the softest in the world, but given that it's 4 ply? Still a suprisingly nice texture.
Highly recommended yarn. ☺

I've had several cakes of this gorgeous yarn in my stash for ages. Why do I save yarn for 'best'? Anyway, took the Black/Rose with me on holiday and made a lovely knitted shawl with it. The drape is beautiful, just have to be careful not to 'split' the yarn while working. I checked after every row so I could correct any splits on the way back on the next row and it all worked out beautifully

Just finished the classical attitude shawl from 1 cake of the pink/Black.
At first it was difficult getting used to a yarn that was so thin but also seperated as such. But as I got on with it it became easier to use.
Only downside was mine kept knotting in the middle but, after a while, it became easier to use.
Will certainly be buying again

Stunning yarn with the perfect ombre.
As others have said, getting used to the separate threads doesn't take long and once comfortable is no different than 'normal' yarn. What makes these yarns standout is the ombre. No 3 threads of one colour and one of another producing a candy stripe effect, this is a smooth increase of tone/colour. Beautiful.
