ONE FINAL SALE TO SAVE THIS PRODUCT FROM LANDFILL!!
$5 balls of rug yarn. $10 cones of fine yarn. $45 gripper frames. $12 covers.
__

Knowing when to shift, to change, to let go... it's all a part of life and especially a part of business.

This year has been a BIG year of shifts and changes both personally and for Punch Needle World, but there's one thing I'm not quite ready to let go of just yet...

When I announced last November that I was closing down the Punch Needle World product line ahead of my move to Spain, I thought I’d have until June to continue providing you with rug yarn, gripper frames and covers before I moved abroad.

But what’s that saying… you make a plan, and God laughs?

Instead, since April, I've had over $100,000 worth of beautiful punch needle supplies sitting packaged up on 7 pallets in a warehouse. I can't sell it through my website because the company managing my shipping unexpectedly ceased operations in March. I can't find any one place who can accept this quantity of punch needle product for donation. And it would cost me about $4,000 that I don't have, to ship this product to another location even if I did.

Now here's the thing.

I need to move on to other parts of my business. I was informed it would only cost me $300 to incinerate it all. To be done with it. To wash my hands of everything, to say “oh well” and move on to other parts of the business.

But the thought of getting rid of high quality, perfectly usable yarn and frames and wasting all the natural resources that went into producing these products just KILLS me.

So I'm appealing to you for help with one final offer...

- If you’re a punch needle teacher who wants to stock up on supplies for your class and have yarn and frames to sell to your students…
- If you run a yarn shop and sell punching supplies…
- If you’re a fiber artist who’s interested in buying bulk materials for your work…
- Or if you’re just someone who just loved working with Punch Needle World yarn and wants to buy a stash of product before it’s gone forever…

🙏 Please help this yarn and gripper frames go to a good home instead of the landfill! 🙏

Here's how it will work:

- Everything is being sold for wholesale prices -- 50-60% off retail. $5 balls of yarn. $10 cones. $45 gripper frames. $12 covers.
- The order minimum is $500.
- You can order for your personal use, or for resale through your shop or to students in your classes at the MSRP.

⭐ If you’re interested in placing an order, email [email protected] for a full list of inventory and to get a quote for shipping ⭐

I’m so excited to return my focus to supporting you through punch needle education, patterns and courses… but I can't just toss this product without trying one more time to find it a home.

Thanks again for all your support during this year of massive change and transition! 🙏❤️

ADVANCED SAMPLERS PART 7: Shown here is my seventh and final sampler in the series, showcasing punching with strips of wool!

This sampler features strips of wool fabric that have been cut into 1/4-1/2" strips and punched just like you would punch wool yarn. The beautiful wool I used was purchased from in Rhode Island. The look of this perfectly mimics the look of traditional rug hooking, which uses a bent metal hook to pull strips of wool fabric up through the front of monkscloth! Rug Hooking is the traditional rugmaking tradition that punch needle rug hooking is based on, and is still practiced today. I ran out of wool and so I supplemented this piece with some rug yarn and a fluffy novelty yarn for the clouds, which I think gives a really nice effect!

In case you missed my earlier posts...

Back in 2022 I completed an in-depth training with Amy Oxford to become an Advanced Oxford Punch Needle Instructor. Part of that process included completing 7 different 12"x12" sample squares of our own design, illustrating the various punch needle techniques that can be achieved with the 8 sizes of Oxford Punch Needles and the Craftsman Punch Needle.

This post is part 7 of this series!

In a world where we can order anything with a click, taking the time to make something with our own hands becomes even more meaningful. So I'm here to help you get creative this year! ❤️

This month's pattern is inspired by the upcoming Chinese New Year (Year of the Horse) beginning on Feb 17th. This Zodiac year is all about energy, freedom, big shifts and action, and I'm hopeful that it brings just that.

As you punch this pattern, I hope it carries some of that Horse energy with it: the courage to speak out against injustice, the confidence to explore new directions in your creative practice, and the momentum to take action on the ambitous projects you've been dreaming about.

ADVANCED SAMPLERS PART 6: Shown here is my sixth sampler in the series -- showcasing novelty yarns!

Isn't this a fun one?! This sampler showcases 25 different craft store and novelty yarns and what they look like when punched. Novelty yarns can be tricky to work with. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't! Sometimes the fiber content or texture of the yarn is too slippery for the needle, or too lumpy or frayed (getting caught in the tip of the needle). Sometimes even when it works, the resulting loops don't always look that good. This was a fun batch! My favorites are the variegated yarns and the "fuzzy" looking yarns (the beige and turquoise with white seen in the upper left) even though they were super tricky to work with! Which ones stand out to you?

Kick off your new year with a new project! Rug yarn is still 20% off to get you on the right track for 2026 💪

9 colors are already out of stock, but the gorgeous hues shown here are some of my favorites -- and there's plenty left!

⚠️ As a reminder, I'm discontinuing my product line of punch needle frames and rug yarn and selling through all my inventory so once these colors are gone, they're gone! ⚠️

Get 'em while you can! High quality + affordable rug yarn is hard to find....

This month's pattern is "Let the Light In" -- a simple candle glowing against the darkness.

This winter/holiday season carries a universal longing for light. Across traditions and throughout time, we've gathered around flames during the darkest days -- whether it's luminarias lining walkways, candles on a menorah or the soft glow of a fire bringing family together around the Christmas tree.

As you punch this piece, I hope it also reminds you that you carry a beautiful light within you, and even the smallest gesture -- a kind word, a moment of presence, the simple act of creating something with your hands -- brightens the world!
