Oxford Punch Needle – #10 FINE, 1/4″ loop

The Oxford Punch #10 FINE makes a 1/4 inch loop using worsted weight yarn or wool strips.  

By using strips of wool fabric in the punch needle, you can get the look of traditional, primitive hooked rugs in a fraction of the time it would take using a rug hook.

The Oxford Punch Needle may be used with any traditional hooked rug patterns that are on monk’s cloth, linen, or rug warp. Burlap is not recommended.

Keep in mind that the punch needle is used on the back side of the piece so any lettering on the pattern must be backwards (a mirror image).

There is also a #10 REGULAR, #8 and a #14 needle which are listed separately, the Oxford #8 makes a 1/2 inch loop and the #14 makes an 1/8th inch loop.
