Oxford Punch Needle (#10)
Oxford Punch Needle
Handmade in the USA from maple wood and a stainless steel needle, the Oxford Punch Needle is highly sought after world-wide as the premier punch needle. Imported directly from the Oxford Company in Vermont, USA. All of the Oxford Punch Needles come with a lifetime guarantee.
The sizes refer to the height of the loops, where the Regular and Fine refer to the yarn weight.
The Oxford #10 Fine works well with yarn ranging from 8ply to 12ply, where the Oxford #10 Regular works well with bulkier yarn, rug yarn and fabric strips. You can also double strand 8ply yarn to use the Regular needle.
#10 produces loops 1/4 inch (0.6cm)) in both the Fine and Regular.
The terms Fine and Regular refer to the width or gauge of the needle. The Fine is ideal for fine-mid weight yarn (8-10ply) whereas the Regular works with heavier yarns (12ply), bulky yarn, rug yarn or even fabric strips.
We recommend using your needle with monks cloth which is available in pre-cut squares or by the metre. For the Oxford Fine, a bamboo hoop can be used. For the Oxford Regular we recommend stretching the monks cloth over a canvas frame or using a non-slip hoop for best results.
BONUS With all purchases of The Oxford Punch Needle we include a copy of our Beginners Guide to Punch Needle.
