Punch Needle Tool for Thick and Chunky Yarn
Built for Thick, Chunky Yarn
Most punch needle tools are made for fine embroidery thread. This one isn't. A curved metal needle tip and a comfortably contoured blue handle make it a natural fit for chunky yarn projects: bold rug punch pieces, textured wall hangings, and other thick-yarn punch needle work.
Quick answer: This is a curved punch needle tool designed for thick and chunky yarn, not fine embroidery thread. The tool itself is about 13.5cm long, with a blue plastic ergonomic handle and a metal needle tip. It comes with a flexible needle threader, about 17cm long, that makes loading thick yarn quick and easy.

Good to Know
This listing is for the punch needle tool and threader. Yarn and backing fabric are sold separately, which also makes it a simple, giftable add-on for crafters who already have their own supplies. Measurements are taken by hand and can vary by up to 1cm, and colour may look slightly different depending on your screen.
