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/

Absolutely gorgeous. I have a lot of experience with cotton for weaving . I ve used this before or weaving , crochet & knitting baby blankets . I've paid. Ten times a skein more than this and can't say that this year isn't equal . The color palette leaves nothing to want ... Theyarn is soft and gets better with each wash , I prefer wools normally , but when I work with cotton , this is really a pleasant and affordable way to go! Made me more open to the fact that sometimes more expensive do Snr mean better quality. Thanks Hobbii !

At first I was confused by the size of the yarn thinking it was going to be bigger. However, that was just my mistake on my part for not reading the sizes -__- . The yarn has this really durable/sturdy feel that I can see myself using for bags, potholders and more. Talking about potholders that was actually my first project with this yarn and it came out great! the stitch definition is there, I love the availability of colors for this yarn and I love how it feels on my skin in contrast to other cotton brands!

Bought this yarn to make special request socks for a man who has “ foot issues”. Note that he also has size 13 feet. Two balls were enough to make the socks. He is thrilled as the socks absorb well, but dry quickly. He requested a second pair shortly after receiving the first pair. He has special shoes he must wear, and these socks were perfect for him. He has had troubles with all other socks he has tried. I’ll be keeping this yarn on hand! Awesome!!!

I am absolutely obsessed with this yarn. No piling, incredibly soft, and working up beautifully in my project. I am newer to working with a thin yarn, but this is so incredibly easy to work with. The yarn comes with a sticker attached to the center pull and makes it so easy to unpackaged and begin a project. Will absolutely be buying more of this yarn in the near future! I wish I would’ve known about Hobbii years ago’

This is such a versatile yarn. I have made market bags, pot holders, embellished beanies and crochet floral appliqués and I’m currently working on a sweet granny square jacket for my granddaughter. It is soft, the colors are vibrant, it washes well and has a lovely drape. Would work well for lightweight baby garments and blankets as well. I highly recommend it, and will be ordering this yarn as long as it is available.
