Punch Needle: 15 Contemporary Projects

Sisters Rachel Lawson and Siobhan Watt combined their talents — Siobhan's professional art and design experience and Rachel's needlework expertise — to create these delightful contemporary designs.   Punch needle is accessible for everyone, including those with no craft experience. Readers will especially appreciate the fact that it's a perfect way to turn a stash of yarn into practical items. This relaxing craft is presented with clear illustrations, photographs, and step-by-step instructions. Readers will learn the techniques, which tools to combine with particular yarns, and where to source materials—including great ideas for upcycling materials. The 15 one-of-a-kind projects include rugs, plant holders, purses and bags, children's toys, pillows, wall hangings, and framed art.
