Beginner's Pumpkin Punch Needle Kit
Have you always wanted to try punch needle but didn't know where to begin? This kit is a great way to start! The kit includes the PDF pattern and a 30-40 minute video tutorial to walk you through everything you need to know to make this little punch needle mat or wall art. The kit also includes all of the materials needed to get started, so there is no need to gather materials yourself.
Size: 6" finished mat or 6" hoop art
Option #1 Includes:
- 3 skeins of Chunky Thread for pumpkin and background, plus 2 mini skeins for stem and leaves (Please note this is a generous amount of yarn, but the labor involved in rewinding mini skeins would make the kit cost more than if we just included a full skein).
- Weaver's Cloth for the background fabric
- 6" faux wood embroidery hoop* for display purposes or punching
- Wool felt for the back of the mat for if you decide to display on a table, rather than in the embroidery hoop
- PDF Pattern and video tutorial
Option #2 Includes:
Everything list under Option #1, plus the Ultra Punch tool. The tool includes 3 different needle options, a needle threader, plus full instructions on how to use it.
*The provided hoop works to hold your piece when punching, but the fabric doesn't hold very tight and needs to be readjusted a lot. I talked a little bit about this in the video tutorial. I personally I prefer the Morgan Hoop Lap Stand when I do punch needle. It is an investment, so it's something that would warrant purchasing if you plan to do more punch needle, other embroidery or quilting with it - not for a begginner project. This is why I have chosen not to include it in the beginner's kit. We do list it as an add on if you would like to purchase one. Images of this hoop are shown in the last four photos. We also have a couple of other sizes listed under the Punch Needle shopping tab if you are interested in some other sizes.
