what is punch needle?
Punch needle is an embroidery technique closely related to rug hooking. Punch needle artists use a punch needle tool to push, or “punch,” loops of yarn through a base fabric. The loops are tightly packed together, creating freeform, organic shapes. Punch needle techniques can be used to create all kinds of wearable and decorative art, like rugs, cushions, bags, wall hangings, and, yes, drink coasters!
