Punch Needle Embroidery Kit | Palm Beach Sailboat | 20cm 8 Inch Hoop - Wall Art

Punch loops of soft yarn through a printed panel and the picture builds itself in raised texture. This punch needle kit comes with the design already printed on the fabric, so there is no tracing or counting, and the finished piece stays in its 20 cm (8 inch) hoop and hangs straight on the wall.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Coastal and holiday wall art
• Beach house and balcony decor
• A summer gift for a travel lover

Compatibility

Works with: the printed panel and yarn in the kit, and any craft yarn of a similar thickness if you want to change a colour.

Pairs well with: spare embroidery hoops, extra yarn and a small pair of fabric scissors.

Not suitable for: fine cross stitch or thin embroidery floss, because the needle is sized for yarn and will leave holes too wide for thread.

How to Use

1. Stretch the printed fabric in the hoop, printed side facing you, and pull it drum tight.
2. Thread the punch needle and set the depth for the loop height you want.
3. Work from the printed side, pushing the needle in to the stop and drawing it back only to the surface.
4. Fill each colour area in close rows, then trim the tails on the back.
5. Tighten the hoop, trim the spare fabric and hang it.

Before You Buy

• The hoop is the frame. The piece is meant to be displayed inside it, so nothing extra is needed to finish.
• Yarn shades can differ slightly from the photograph between batches.
• This is a punch needle kit, not a cross stitch or embroidery floss kit. The stitch is a loop, not a flat stitch.
• It involves a sharp needle, so it suits older children with an adult nearby rather than young children on their own.

You will Need

• embroidery hoops
• yarn

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the hoop and is it included?
The hoop is 20 cm (8 inch) across and it comes with the kit, so the finished piece is framed as soon as you are done.

How is this one different from the others in the range?
The kit, hoop and method are identical across the range. Only the printed design changes, and this one is palm beach sailboat. If you would rather not choose, the assorted design listing sends one at random.

Do I need to know how to embroider first?
No. Punch needle is worked from the front with the design already printed, so there is no pattern to follow and no counting. Most people get a clean loop within the first few rows.

Can I use my own yarn with it?
Yes, as long as it is about the same thickness as the yarn supplied. Thinner yarn slips back out of the fabric and thicker yarn will not pass through the needle.
