Punch needle is a fiber art technique that involves using a specialized tool to create loops of yarn on fabric. This method creates a textured and fluffy effect, similar to that of a rug or pillow, making it a popular choice for creating wall hangings, pillows, rugs, and other decorative items.

Punch needle is a versatile and relaxing form of needlework, and it is well-suited for both beginners and experienced crafters. It is a great way to add a touch of color and texture to your home décor and also make unique, handcrafted gifts for friends and family. With its simple techniques, punch needle allows you to experiment with different colors, textures, and designs, giving you the freedom to let your creativity run free.

Whether you're looking to create something beautiful for your home or simply seeking a fun and relaxing hobby, punch needle is definitely worth exploring. In this class, participants will learn the basics of the punch needle craft and get hands-on experience with this fun and creative needlework technique.
