What is punch needle?

Punch needle is a fibre craft with its traditional purpose for making rugs.

Although traditionally used for making rugs, modern applications of punch needle include cushions, wall hangings and bags. The rhythmic punching is favoured by many for it’s relaxing motion. The perfect craft for textile or yarn lovers, punch needle is a traditional craft for modern makers. It's a very accessible craft and great for beginners as it's quite forgiving.
