Oxford Punch Needle – #14, 1/8th Inch Loop

The Oxford Punch #14 Fine is also called the “Mini” punch. “The Mini” forms beautiful short, compact loops that look similar to needlepoint.

It makes beautiful rugs and is also great for small items such as coasters, holiday ornaments, glasses cases, etc. Like all of our needles with fine points, it works well with worsted, sport, sock, and baby weight yarns. Try tapestry or needlepoint yarns in it as well or #3 (3/32nds inch) cut strips of fabric.

“Fine” refers to the width of the needle. There is also a “regular” needle, the #10, which is listed separately.

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).
