When someone asks me what punch needle is, I tell them it’s miniature version of rug hooking. If they don’t know what that is then I explain you use a hollow thin needle with colored thread running through it. The thread punches through your design on fabric and makes a loop on one side, many loops create an image. It’s very three dimensional in look.Measures approximately 2.5″ tall x 4″ wide and signed on the bottom. You will receive the extra pin cushion pictured here. Bonnie teaches gel printing, book binding, and punch needle embroidery workshops with us at Shaker Village.
- You cannot add "Natural Lambskin Pelt Rug by Partridge Hill Farm" to the cart because the product is out of stock.
