Punch needling is a form of needlework, closely related to rug hooking. Also called 'tufting', punch needling involves using a special hollow needle to punch wool into fabric, which is mounted on an embroidery hoop to keep it taut. The needle creates loops that are kept in place with the tension of the fabric. The end result is a highly textured design which is pleasing to look at and touch.
This is the perfect activity for solo crafters, friends or couples.
What to expect:
- Be guided every step of the way as you get to grips with punch needle
- Leave with a finished product to treasure or gift
- Colourful wool, punch needles & monks cloth all included
