This is my first time using the Puzzle shimmer and I am glad I took advantage of the sale! This yarn is a dream to work with. It is nice and squishy, soft, glides over my hook, no splitting and best of all the thin sparkle thread that's running through the yarn is secure! I've used other yarn where that thread is kind of loose and splits away from the actual yarn but this one is securely woven into the fiber. The color is gorgeous and has a nice variegated ombre effect that's just stunning. This is the perfect winter time yarn and am so excited to finish my project and use the other green skein I got.
