A soft, buttery cream with a faint ivory warmth, Alize Diva 1 is the shade knitters reach for when they want quiet elegance rather than colour. The silky microfiber surface catches light the way mercerised cotton does, so cables and lace panels stay crisp instead of disappearing into the fabric.Each 100 gram (3.53 ounce) ball holds a generous 383 yards (350 meters) of 100% microfiber acrylic in a fingering weight, working to 30 stitches over 4 inches on a 3.5 mm (E) hook or US 1.5-4 (2.5-3.5 mm) needles. That yardage makes it practical for full garments: a summer shell, a christening gown, or a wide-brimmed sun hat that holds its shape.Cream is unforgiving of pilling, which is exactly why this base suits it. The fibre resists fuzzing and washes clean on a gentle machine cycle without yellowing.
