Punch needle

Wall hangings, cushions and tote bags in relief.

Baby's breath

A hollow needle, a taut cloth, and yarn pushed straight through: every stab leaves a loop on the other side. You don't sew and you don't knot — you punch, and the motif rises in relief. It's the fastest of the thread crafts to show a result.

Before you start

€27.50 for a complete kit

to start, everything included

Space & mess

A table and room for a hoop. No dust, no smell, nothing to dry. It goes back in its own box.

What will go wrong the first time

Your loops will pull back out when you lift the needle. Two causes, always the same: you raise the needle instead of sliding it flat against the cloth, or the yarn is caught behind you and has no slack. And if the cloth sinks under the point, it isn't taut enough — it should sound like a drum skin when you tap it.

These few moves, and you can make anything

  1. 01Tension the clothEverything else depends on it.
  2. 02Push down to the handleThat is what gives the loop its height.
  3. 03Come back up flatThe golden rule: lifting the needle undoes the loop.
  4. 04Let the yarn runHeld back, it tightens and the loop stops forming.
  5. 05Work from the backYou punch on the motif side; the relief grows behind.
  6. 06Close and glueA dab of textile glue fixes the back once finished.
