Below is an up-to-date list of my favorite supplies and resources that I’ve curated specifically for punch needle fashion.
The world of punch needle is constantly evolving, with new yarns, tools and possibilities emerging all the time. As I continue to explore & discover new resources, I’ll share them with you here!
Recommended Resources & Supplies
-
Oxford Punch Needles
The best needles in the biz! While there are 8 sizes, I made every project in this book with either the 10 Regular or 14 Fine, which are my two preferred and most used sizes of needle.
-
Punch Needle World Rug Yarn
This is my yarn line that I designed specifically for punch needle! All the pieces in my book are punched with this yarn. Available in two widths, Regular and Fine, that correspond with the size of punch needle that you choose.
-
20" x 20" Gripper Frame
Gripper strip frames are the best frames for punch needle! My custom 20" x 20" frame is the size I've found to be the most versatile for the widest range of punch needle projects, making it possible to create numerous items all with one product.
-
20" Felt Frame Cover
Protect your hands and clothes as you punch! My super soft, double layered felt Gripper Frame Cover provides a protective barrier between your hands and the sharp gripper teeth of our 20" x 20" Gripper Strip Frame. I never work without it!
-
Punch Needle World Bundle
Save on your most important tools when you buy the Punch Needle World bundle! This foundation bundle includes the 20” Gripper Frame, 20” Felt Cover and your choice of Oxford Punch Needle size.
-
Cotton Monkscloth
Flexible and strong, this is the best foundation cloth for punch needle rug hooking! It is what I used as the base material for all 15 projects in the book. Compatible with all sizes of Oxford Punch Needle and rug yarn.
-
20" x 30" Gripper Frame
A bigger investment for serious punchers, this is the largest frame sold by The Oxford Company and is a great size for making bigger pieces without needing to move your work on the frame as you go. Don’t forget the corresponding frame cover to go with it!
-
Violet Jane Rug Yarn
Violet Jane is The Oxford Company’s line of rug yarn, which would work beautifully for punch needle fashion pieces. They offer both solid and variegated shades, and each color is available in 2 sizes, Regular and Fine, to correspond to the different Oxford Needle widths.
