Oxford Punch Needle – #14 FINE, 1/8″ loop

“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 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 cut strips of fabric.

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 #8, #9 Reg, a #10 Regular,  #10 FINE, and a #13 needle which are listed separately, the Oxford #8 makes a 1/2 inch loop, the #10 Fine makes the 1/2 inch loop, but uses worsted-weight yarn, and the #14 makes an 1/8th inch loop with worsted weight.
