Special wool for Oxford needle nº10
If you want to make rugs, bags, clothes… that is to say, any format of punch needle to enjoy in your day, is important that you use a good wool so that your creativity has a long life and does not deteriorate with use and time. The perfect wool for the Oxford needle is a 100% natural wool from Merino sheep with rustic braided yarns. This wool is the primitive wool of rug hooking, the wool from which the finest handmade carpets were and are made.
It is a rustic wool. We have developed it thanks to the help of a craftsman who makes it especially for us. The Oxford needle nº10 requires a wool with a very specific thickness of 4mm. With this needle, you can punch without the wool constantly escaping (as is often the case with most wools) and so that your loops are perfect.
The best punch needle cloth
Abbess punch needle cloth, is for you, a Punch woman whose creativity knows no bounds. It is a strong, versatile, hard-wearing and open weave fabric that won’t fray! It is perfect if you want to make cushions, toiletry bags, dolls, etc. because it facilitates any work with a needle or a sewing machine. Also, if you are thinking of a punchy with areas leaving the fabric uncovered, the Abbess cloth is the right one for you. It’s a cloth for experienced and demanding punchers.
Why don’t we include Monk cloth in the punch needle kits?
Monk cloth is indeed the most popular cloth, but in practice, it is an uncomfortable cloth to work with.
It has 3 major disadvantages. First, it frays so you have to tape the entire perimeter of the piece before working with it. It deforms easily so when undoing stitches the fabric does not recover and it is difficult to punch again with the risk of loops coming loose. Finally, it does not support any sewing option, either by hand or by machine. This fact limiting considerably the formats to be created.
