This was my very first Hobbii yarn. Generally I use thicker yarns and I have never used a yarn with individual strands before. I was a bit nervous.
I bought Sultan because of the amazing colors. Seeing them in real life, the colors are even better than online! My second thought after the color is that I absolutely love that there is a handy little sticker so you can easily find the center of the yarn. Now that I have used the yarn, it is not as intimidating as I had thought. It took a few stitches to get the hang of the individual strands but it really is not difficult to crochet. I love how soft and drapey this baby blanket is working up. It will be the perfect weight for an August baby!
I see many more skeins of Sultan in my future!

I was a little bit hesitant at first, to try this yarn. My hesitancy was due to the fact that it was comprised of 4 threads that were not twisted together like most yarns. I was afraid of frustration due to splitting. However...I am SO glad I bought this...I am loving how it's working up and it isn't nearly as fearsome as I'd thought! Wonderful product, and beautiful result! My daughter LOVES the table runner I am making with it for her dressing table. I also really love that Hobbii yarns have the easy start tabs, this makes it so easy to start a project without the frustration or mess of digging for the start. Thank You Hobbii!!!

The gradients are soft and beautiful, and the yarn has been very easy to work with. I've tried other untwisted yarns where one of the strands will get longer and longer than the others; to where you have a loop hanging off your working thread, and either have to keep moving and untangling it or cut the yarn, trim the strand and reattach. This yarn has not had that problem and all the strands have stayed the same length, which is much less frustrating!

It takes a little more care to make sure you don't miss one of the strands when working, but it isn't difficult and it's very satisfying to watch the colors slowly change.

I was intimidated by the 4-thread construction, but compared to the dollar store cotton yarn I've used before, this one was a treat. I almost exclusively use mercerized cotton because i hate the splitting of cotton yarn, but this one splits less than a non-mercerized cotton (I used a bead to gather the strands). Takes a few rows to get used to it and I did work more carefully to ensure I picked up all four threads, but the yarn didn't give me trouble or frustrate me while using. With these gradients and color options, it is worth the small learning curve and marginally slower pace for the end result!

I absolutely love working with Sultan! The gradient of color came out quite stunning on the shawl I've made, and it worked well for a drawstring bag I worked up for a friend too. It's soft and drapes very nicely. I'm looking forward to using the rest of the cakes I bought.

One thing to note though, is it can split fairly easily. Using a bead is helpful for keeping the strands in line, but it's definitely worth it to just go a little slower and make sure you catch all four threads. Overall, definitely a product I recommend!
