I'm Sultan, I'm a Chicago based yarn dyer, originally from Saudi Arabia and I am the dyer behind Alwan Sultan and I mostly dye self striping sock yarn in very small batches hence my motto Slow Fiber!
Alwan means colors in Arabic, Alwan Sultan came from my love of dyeing and self striping yarn. I have been dyeing yarn since 2016 and never stopped since!
I love experimenting, mixing and playing with colors, rainbows are my favorite. I take inspiration from everywhere, especially nature and as much as I love bright colors I really love dyeing moody and earthy tones, don't get me wrong I will still be dyeing neons too
