Tips for Working with Glisten

Glisten is a new wool from Rainbow Gallery.  It comes on cards and is four plies of Merino wool and a metallic filament braided together.  It is not meant to be plied.  There are 26 colors currently.  Think Silk Lame Braid but with wool.  I have a small sample in soft gray that I haven't used yet but it is very pretty stuff.
