Punch needle embroidery is back! It’s a simple technique that involves nothing more than a punch needle – like a normal sewing needle, but with a handle and an aperture at the tip. It can be used on any fabric using either yarn or thread, and creates a textured, raised finish that’s soft to the touch and beautiful to look at.
A book by Punch Needle Embroidery for Beginners Paperback by Lucy Davidson can be of a lot of help.
Punch needle is a creative embroidery technique that both beginners and experienced crafters love to do. And it’s easy to get started! Once you learn the basic technique, you can make all sorts of projects, including wall hangings, pillows, and rugs.
Punch Needling should be possible with cotton or fleece floss or yarn reasonable for sewing or knit. Contingent upon the needle thickness, you need to utilize an alternate thickness of string.
With the Clover Needle you can utilize DMC weaving floss. For the thickest top off needle you can go through string or lace to 3mm thick. We love to utilize our Lanita natural fleece.
With the movable punch needle and ergonomic punch needle, you can utilize thicker cotton or fleece strings up to 4-5 mm thick. We utilize both the Lanita and Gordita natural fleece for punching with this needle.
A punch needle device is a long needle with an empty stem, a slanted point, and a huge eye. Yarn is strung through the empty stem of the needle and embedded through the eye. The mark of the needle is punched through a woven establishment texture, making circles of yarn. The series of circles structure a heap on the opposite side of the establishment texture.
There are many types of punch needle tools. They come in different lengths and thicknesses. Some have an adjustable depth gauge to control the length of the yarn loops.
How to Thread a Punch Needle Some punch needle tools, like the Oxford needle, are very easy to thread by hand because they have an open slot in the stem. To thread these types of open needles:
Insert the yarn through the eye of the needle, from back to front.
While holding on to the yarn end with one hand, place the yarn into the slot in the handle of the tool. (It might not go in all the way, that’s okay.
While holding on to the handle of the needle tool with one hand, pull on the yarn end at the pointed end of the tool. As you pull, the yarn should pop into the slot in the stem.
Other types of needle tools require the use of a thin, wire threading tool to insert the yarn. To thread these types of closed needles:
Insert the wire thread up through the hollow stem of the tool, from the pointed tip to the end of the handle. Catch the end of the yarn, and pull it down through the stem.
Next, insert the wire threader through the eye of the needle, from front to back. Catch the end of the yarn, and pull it through the eye of the needle.
