Punch needle embroidery has taken the craft world by storm, and Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou is at the helm of this movement. In this thorough workshop, Arounna gives the traditional craft of punch needle embroidery a modern makeover and shows how you can do the same. You will not only learn the fundamentals of how to use the punch needle tool, but also how to create a successful design from scratch and punch it up quickly with bulky weight wool. Along the way, Arounna troubleshoots potential issues and shows you how to bind off your piece to make a wall hanging, trivet or stool cover. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Oxford punch needle tool - size #10 for ¼” loops (you can find one at Bookhou or at AmyOxford.com)
  • Monks cloth with 13 holes per inch (you can find this by the yard at Joann.com or buy it pre-stretched at Bookhou)
  • 12" wood frame or stretcher bars (you can find this at Joann.com - you'll need to buy 2 sets to make a full frame)
  • Light-duty staple gun (Arounna uses this one)
  • Mallet
  • Pencil and eraser
  • Watercolor and watercolor paper (optional)
  • Sketch paper
  • Fine-tipped Sharpie
  • Bulky weight wool yarn (Arounna recommends Patons Classic Wool Roving yarn)

Great information. Loved how she threaded the needle and didn't need a knot. I'm not sure if I would take the time to paint the demo page but it is a great way to be creative with painting and punch work.
