Cobble Hill jigsaw puzzles are different to most as they have random cut pieces. The quirky shapes are a break-away from the predictable patterns of a ribbon cut puzzle. What is the difference? A ribbon cut puzzle has pieces which are all similar square shapes that line up in neat columns and rows creating a grid pattern. The pieces in a random cut puzzle can come in all shapes and sizes and, when the puzzle is complete, it usually has an abstract pattern with the quirky shaped pieces adding character to the standard jigsaw puzzle.
The Cobble Hill puzzle range was established in 2005 with the desire to bring healthy activities to kids, families and adults. From the moment you open the box you appreciate the quality and integrity of a Cobble Hill puzzle. Rich linen printing texture, thick blue board and quirky shaped puzzle pieces lead to a satisfying puzzle experience. With Cobble Hill puzzles, you can be confident that you’re choosing quality jigsaw puzzles. Cobble Hill take care to use the finest inks and varnishes creating a crisp image. The random-cut pieces add an element of intrigue. The textured linen print paper is both elegant-looking and functional in reducing glare from artificial light.
