Lost in the Fray: Unraveling the History of Punch Needle
This webinar was hosted by punch needle artist, Oxford-certified instructor, and founder of Punch Needle World, Micah Clasper-Torch. It was recorded on March 23rd, 2021.
Where did punch needle originate? How was it originally used? Why is it having a resurgence today?
As it turns out, there are actually 3 traditional forms of punch needle that inform our current understanding of the craft today, each with their own distinctly different origins and purpose. In this hour long webinar, Micah will walk you through the history of these three crafts, the various tools and materials used for each, and how modern interpretations have combined aspects of these historical crafts to create the exciting new techniques and styles that you see today.
Whether you are a new puncher looking to understand the difference in techniques to help you know where to begin, or you are an experienced puncher who is curious to learn more about the history of your craft -- this webinar will provide you a deeper level of insight into the fascinating world of punch needle!

What tools do I need to get started? How long does it take to make something with punch needle? How does the yarn stay in the fabric? To buy our recommended punch needle tools and materials like Monkscloth, Oxford Punch ...
Do you secure the threads in any way after punching is complete, or is it relying purely on friction to keep them in place?
No need to secure your threads with glue (especially if you use rug wool) punch needle stays in place due to the tension of all those loops tightly packed between the weave of the fabric!
@@PunchNeedleWorld Thank you -- do you ever clip the threads on one side so it ends up looking like a rug, or do you leave the long thread intact?
Vietnam?! Nobody invited you there, it's literally on another continent like all the wars that USA is involved. Sorry not sorry
I want to punch needle some jeans is it possible????
Ótimo trabalho ❤
I am just wondering if there are any specific qualities you look for in a yarn, say for a cushion or stool cover? I know you want wool for floor rugs, but how avoid other projects? I’m also speaking about the finish of the yarn, if there is a difference, like the twist for instance.
No offense, I like the outside better than the inside
I love your creativity and knowledge. The history of punch needle was very interesting. Can I use aunt Lindy’s #10 cotton to do punch needle?
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Is it recommended to use the flat stitches as the front? I tried it and the piece puffs up, does not stay flat on table or wall. How do I prevent it, or make it remain flat? Thank you
Hi, great question! No, the flat stitches are NOT meant to be the front of this textile! Doing so is a very recent adaptation that some artists decide to use in their pieces, but it should not be used this way for rugs because the loops will prevent the carpet from laying flat, which means people will trip on the sides. The flat stitches are also the weakest part of the textile, and if something catches on them they will pull out. This won't happen to the looped side, even without glue. For artwork on the wall this is less of a concern and the flat stitches can be used as an artistic choice, but this has never been a part of the traditional technique.
Thank you I was stuck do it punch needle loops r coming out this will help me to do it perfectly
punch needle has been aeound since 1880 or so
thank you this was very helpful :)
This was an excellent video on the history of punch needle. I started the craft about two years ago and had to conduct extensive research on the various styles. Bunka embroidery has been a challenge and I plan to go back to it later.
Hi So the top of the piece is not the side you want to show? I prefer the top to the bottom.
Yes, technically the flat stitches (the side that you work from) is the back of the textile and if you are making a rug, you should definitely use the looped pile side as the top of the rug. However, when it comes to artwork or other contemporary creative applications of this craft, the side you choose to show is up to you as an artistic choice! It is worth noting that using the flat stitches as the "front" of the piece is only a decision that has been made by crafters in recent years to mimic the look of embroidery and is not a part of the traditional technique or history of this textile form.
hi, i want to ask if there is a journal that explains in detail the history of the punch needle? because i need it for the thesis. thank you
Can you do needle punching without a frame?
Thanks for the question! I hesitate to say you "can't" do this, because some people might try this and say it's possible -- but punching without a frame is not practicing the craft correctly. A frame (whether it is a gripper frame, carpet tack frame, etc.) is an essential tool to hold your material open and in place so you can get the correct stitch lengths without it shifting. It makes the craft both easier and safer to practice. Hope that helps to clarify!
I inherited my grandmother's circa 1950's rug punching project 2/3rd completed and I've been learning how to complete the project. I've set up the frame and am working on the project --I have the Columbia Minerva De Lux rug needle much like the oxford punch needle and the actual rug is a 36'' and 22'' Springfield rug. It is a semi circle with flowers.
Wow, how special to be completing a project that your grandmother started so long ago! The completed piece sounds like it will be a beautiful collaboration across generations of women in your family.
I was at Black Sheep this summer and bought my first punch needle, a hoop and some monk cloth. I am ecstatic about this new hobby. I just finished my first piece tonight and going to enter into our fair tomorrow. I bought a second oxford punch needle that arrived yesterday, a #10 to do the water in the scene. I want to write up a little bit of history for the fair so I found your video. Thank you so much for this video. I'm anxious to learn more. My project Iis wool and alpaca fiber from our farm. I spin and dye it. I also added silk, rose, and bamboo fibers to blend with my sheep and alpaca wool. I would post my rug picture but I don't know how. Thanks again.
I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying punch needle as a new hobby! You piece sounds beautiful, and I am so impressed that you spin and dye your own yarn. That really makes your work even more special. Congrats on entering it into the fair, and I'm glad that this video could help provide some additional history and context for the craft!
You can’t post on CZcams, but you can on other social media like Instagram and Facebook. Do you have either of those? I’m just getting started, so I’m curious to see your work. :)
NICE TIPE.THANK YOU.
Congrats on a great video again !
Hi Micah, I took a class from you on Donestika, and will like to know where else can I take classes from you.
Hi Ana! I see that you've already discovered Punch Needle Academy (www.punchneedleacademy) where I have another in-depth course on the foundations of punch needle rug hooking! I'm so thrilled that you took the Domestika class as well :) And thanks for watching this video!
Great idea and tips
Gracias por tu explicación. Dónde encuentro los esquemas?
Tks 🥰
Thanx much Mika! What is the name of the fabric to use for punch needle? And how can I make my own frame?
Hi! And thanks for all info! Whats the name of the fabric for punch needle and how can I make my own “frame” to start needling… thanx a million
Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y tú tiempo. Saludos cordiales y abrazos fraternales y prolongados 😊.
So cool!
Great video! I've been learning about punch needle for the past couple of months and for the first time made a wall hanging. My question is why does my finalised piece keeps folding at the edges when I take it out of the hoop? I used a round embroidery hoop as a frame (10 inch hoop), monks cloth and yarn. Not sure if it is because it's a rounded shape or I made some beginner's mistake. Thanks for the content both here and at instagram!
Punch needle curls up when you take it off the frame due to the density of the loops in the fabric! This is natural and expected. Punch needle work needs to be pressed and finished after being removed from the frame to make it lay flat.
Thank you so much dear, my question if I make a cushion how I can wash it the glue would go away (pva glue) ?? Thank you so much
Glue is not necessary for punch needle when done with wool rug yarn! If you want to use craft yarns that require glue then I would recommend spot cleaning only, or diluting a washable fabric glue with water and using that to secure your stitches.
I love your videos. And you have great hair.
Haha, thank you! Hoping to get more videos up soon :)
Thank you for showing how to use the light box with material. This tutorial was very helpful. Happy to have found you. New subscriber :)
I'm so glad you found this helpful! Thank you for being here and subscribing, I'm looking forward to making more videos soon :)
@@PunchNeedleWorld Wonderful.. .I'll be looking for it.. Stay safe :)
Aren’t you supposed to put the paper pattern on the lightbox upside down … especially if there are words to punch needle?
Hello dear i have a question i have started to make things with punch needle but i have problems with it which tissue or cloth should be the base i have searched for it and found some specific clothes made for it but i tried on ikea rug with my hand not with punch needle tool and it was good but when i did it with this tool it wasnt work on it, it came out easily and not making loops in back at all whats wrong? can we use any other material for the base? Merci🧡
gridded monks cloth
Cotton monkscloth is the recommended material, and some types of linen, burlap and jute also work.
Hello! What’s that frame you’re using? How does it hold the fabric? Thanks for sharing all your tips!
Hi! This frame is a Gripper Strip frame. You can find them on our website at www.punchneedleworld.com! They use rubber strips with tons of little "teeth" that hold the fabric tight without ripping it (or hurting your hands)! It's amazing :)
wow, that coat is amazing! I can't wait for more videos :~)
Thank you so much! Looking forward to making more!
omg yay so excited to learn a new craft!! thanks for all the tips 😍
You're so welcome! :)
Love all the insights! Your work is so beautiful :’)
Thank you so much! I'm glad the info was helpful!
Really great videos! I love the artwork. You need to do a video giving us slow views of the terrific versatility of this medium.
Thank you, I love that idea of doing more videos that highlight the finished pieces!
Beautifully done! I don't "punch" but this video made me feel like I'd like to give it a try. And the PunchNeedleWorld website offers me all of the information, including how to find supplies & more great tips, to get started. I know this sounds like I got paid to say it...but not at all. I love good production and am fascinated with this medium as both a creative hobby as well as a novel, imaginative art form.
Thank you, this is so great to hear!
