About Punch Needle:
Punch needle is super fun and
quick...a lot like painting by number, but with a punch needle and thread! Punch
needle is portable and great to do while watching TV or traveling. Designs are
pre-stamped on ivory weavers' cloth. The finishing possibilities are endless!
You can frame, decorate a pillow, embellish a quilt or do your own creative
thing!
Punch Needle is not new at all and in fact goes back to the Ancient Egyptians.
They developed the technique of threading fibers through the hollow bones of
birds wings in order to Punch the threads through cloth, creating a
nubby, three-dimensional effect. This method of embellishment continued through
the Middle Ages and in the 20th century was brought to the United States by
Russian immigrants. Many have heard Punch Needle called Russian Punchneedle.
Punch Needle uses a special needle, hoop, weaver's cloth (or any tightly woven
fabric, such as muslin), and embroidery floss to create designs that consist of
tiny loops. The designs are miniature so punch needle is a perfect way to use up
some of those stashes of floss we all have from other projects. The needle is a
hollow tube. A special long threader is used to thread the needle. There is no
counting involved. You are just filling in color areas. The project is worked in
a hoop from the back of the fabric. The tiny loops are placed close together so
the finished product has a textured, chenille look.
