Punch needle is a versatile yet simple embroidery technique which can be used for creating unique designs and modern products on a great number of our fabrics. he terms “front side” and “back side” are not used with this technique, since both sides can be used as the front side and combined with one another.

The punch needle technique ranges from thick punch needle with wool yarns to very fine punch needles with embroidery threads. As a result, the a wide variety of fabrics from our product range can be used for this technique.

You can order fabrics by the meter directly with our in-house sales team or through info@zweigart.de.

Pillowcases, bags, wall pictures or even mini-rugs: with the punch needle, you can let your imagination run free and create beautiful patterns, shapes, pictures or letters.
Our articles 3528 Monk’s Cloth, 3517 Monk’s Cloth Fine and 1198 Floba are the ideal base for getting the nicest results out of punch needle work. But other fabrics from our product range can also be put to excellent use for the punch needle technique. For instance, if the background of the punched motif is to remain free, our article 3609 Belfast offers a very large selection of decorative colours.

The fine punch needle with embroidery threads makes an impression on the flat side much like that of classic embroidery with back, stem and statin stitch. The fabric is often desired to remain visible as a background. For this reason, much finer fabrics with a more beautiful structure than when punching with wool are used.
A special advantage of the fine punch needle is the enormous selection of colours our fabrics offer. For instance, if the background of the punched motif is to remain free, our articles 3609 Belfast, 3984 Murano and 3538 Lugana offer an extremely large selection of colours. Special background effects can be created with our printed fabrics, such as Petit Point, Sparkle, Vintage and Splash, or metallic threads, such as Irisé, Gold or Silver.
