Karori Jigsaw Puzzle Library

10/10/2026

Our fabulous Karori Jigsaw Puzzle Library is open tomorrow - it will be self service so you can make your selections in peace 😂.

In the meantime this is a recent completed image. These panoramic two-tone landscape photos are a much neglected style I think. Turn all the pieces over the middle line is easy - then pull out in a bunch the lightest you can see each time. Very satisfying.

I'd like to start a campaign to discourage the use of roll-up puzzle mats. They bend the pieces and compromise their structural integrity. We bought this puzzle which I'm convinced was a victim where delamination is rife. Remediation with pva but 😢

I'm sorry but it's another self-serve on Monday. I will be dropping off some new 500pc acquisitions before then, so for you 500 fans, keep an eye out.

For those 1000pc afficianados, what a great set of colours, gradients and interest in this Clementoni beauty. Enjoy, and I'll be in next week.

Both puzzles chosen by the people joining in for Puzzle Club social puzzling last Sunday were 1000pc endeavours donated to the Karori Jigsaw Puzzle Library by Alice.

One easier than the other, unfortunately only the Found Alphabet was completed that afternoon but eventually the other was ticked off as well.

Do we have more takers for Puzzle Club? Shall we reconvene for some more Sunday social puzzling?
