Punch
The basic concept of punch needle or needlepunch is pretty simple, yarn is punched through a tightly woven fabric from the back with a hollow pencil shaped needle and leaves tufted loops of yarn on top of the fabric. The tufts can be left as is or trimmed to add a velvety look. It is very easy to create your own patterns from pictures, coloring book pages or purchased iron on transfers. I have even used stained glass patterns!!

Very pretty! I had no idea what exactly punch needle was, so this is very intriging. So which camera did ya get--the shots are great.
These are very beautiful! I can't begin to imagine the patience it must take to do this kind of work. But well worth it.
Thanks for the comments. Seriously though, this is just about the easiest craft I have ever tried. All you do is outline your design then just fill in the areas, no counting, no fuss, just punch until it looks good to you on the right side.
Wow! Those punch things are gorgeous. Do they make starter kits for people who may want to try it?
