FAQ
What is punch needle embroidery?
Punch needle embroidery is a stitching technique that uses a punch needle tool to create loops of yarn or embroidery thread through monk’s cloth, primitive linen, or weaver’s cloth to create a design, lettering, or pattern. It is an easy craft to learn and pick up quickly!

What is the difference between punch needle and rug hooking?
The two techniques are compared as similar in that they create the same stitch, but in different ways with different tools. The punch needle pushes the yarn or thread through the holes in the fabric, while rug hooking hooks the yarn and PULLS it through the fabric.

How does a punch needle yarn stay in the fabric?
Punch needle loops stay because they are being held by the fabric’s weave. Every time you punch, the needle is actually poking through the weave in the fabric. Once the needle is punched in, the yarn pushes through the weave. Then when the needled is pulled back, the weave moves back into place and a loop is created. The tension from the fabric moving back into place and the tension from the loops being closely packed together, keep your yarn in the fabric. That’s one of the reasons why if the weave is too loose, your yarn won’t stay in place.
