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.
