Oxford Punch Needle – #9 Reg, 3/8th Inch Loop

The Oxford Punch Needle #9 Regular  

It makes beautiful rugs and is also great for small items such as coasters, holiday ornaments, glasses cases, etc.  It makes a 3/8 inch loop with a Chunky Weight yarn or you can use two finer yarns together. Wool strips may also be used.  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. #9 is great if you’re punching more with yarn.

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).
