AlizeDiva Silk Effect 100% Microfiber Acrylic Yarn 1 Ball skeins 100gr 383yds Color (1 - Cream)

just the exact color i wanted

I love working with this yarn. I have now bought 9 colors, and have been very pleased with how easy to work with it is, no splitting, and love the bounce that it has. It's hard to explain, but it has this silky look, and a bouncy/springy type feel when it's knitted. I made a shawl with it, and am planning a second one. The colors are exactly as expected, and plenty of yardage for the money. I did find that I needed to start from the outside of the skein and not the center. This works perfectly. I highly recommend this yarn if you are looking for a sport weight yarn.

This yarn is perfect for tiny amigurumi! It’s probably about a size 1, to possibly a FINE size 2 in crochet. I have been looking for something exactly this size for mini keychain ami’s. It’s super soft sleek shiny, one skein is 383 yards so a lot to work with for mini amigurumi projects in one ball. The colors are fabulous, some definitely better in person than the pictures show-especially brown I thought it was going to be too dark, but a it’s perfect chocolate brown color. I got over half the colors available and love ever single one! Will be buying the remaining colors, shipping was also very quick. Thank you!

Very silky feel to this yarn. Doubled the strands to make a hat. Turned out very cute!

Great to use strictly to crochet, not knit. It is slippery and the yarn doesn't split easy, and doesn't get into knots either. It's not very soft, but it's not scratchy either. You do get a bang for your buck. The color is as seen in the pictures. Since it doesn't stretch, it won't be great for wearables so I would stick to doilies and because it's not softer/fluffy I wouldn't do amigurumi with it either. It's definitely a lot smaller in person (a lot smaller than what I was expecting), but it does get you a good 400 yards. I was able to make 2 pairs of large socks with it and still have 20g left with each ball. I got the white and baby blue. Again, blocking doesn't do much for it except stretch it just the tiniest bit (maybe 2cm).

I would classify this as a sock weight yarn. Probably okay for crochet, but I was knitting with it and don’t recommend it for that, especially for inexperienced knitters.PROS: beautiful sheen & drapeCONS:1. Pretends to be center pull, but is NOT. If you see an end sticking out of the center, DO NOT PULL IT! It’s ia trap. Use from the outside or rewind. Once the center is pulled you’re basically doomed. What a mess. I had to throw large parts of 2 skeins away because it was just completely unrecoverable.2. Extremely slippery. EXTREMELY. If you’re knitting, use lifelines frequently, even with the most basic stitches. This yarn has no grip on itself, so once a couple of loops slide off of your needles they just keep unraveling like a domino effect and are nearly impossible to pick back up.I bought this because it was inexpensive, but working with it has been a nightmare. It would probably have been fine if I hadn’t pulled that center string.I might consider purchasing again now that I know what to watch out for, but honestly, I’ll probably stick with bamboo or cotton-bamboo or even sock yarn in the future for similar projects.
