Alize Diva 1055 is Sugar White, a clean bright optic white with none of the cream undertone of shade 1. Under daylight the microfiber gives it a faint pearl shimmer, which keeps large stretches of white fabric from looking flat or chalky.The specs are made for detail work: 100% microfiber acrylic, 100 grams (3.53 ounces) per ball, 383 yards (350 meters) of fingering-weight yarn, a gauge of 30 stitches over 4 inches, a 3.5 mm (E) hook and US 1.5-4 needles. Filet crochet doilies, bridal shrugs and openwork table runners all benefit from that stitch definition.The yarn runs smoothly through the fingers with almost no splitting, so it is forgiving for anyone tackling their first lace chart. Wash cool and dry flat and the white stays white, since this fibre is colourfast and does not pick up dye from other garments in the load.
