Thread to Art: Punch Needle Info. Series

Welcome to Thread to Art – A Punch Needle Info Series

Curious about Punch Needle Embroidery? Whether you're just starting or have been thinking about giving it a try, you're in the right place!

Thread to Art is a free informational series I created to help you feel confident in starting a punch needle project, while also being inspired, from learning the basics to exploring fun and creative techniques that will take your punch needle projects to the next level. It's all about providing you with helpful, easy-to-follow information.

I've packed this guide with what I've learned over the years, both from teaching and extensive hands-on experience. You'll find tips on how the punch needle tool works, what materials to use, how to avoid common mistakes, and answers to the questions I hear most often from beginners. 

As the artist behind Orphaned Wool, I wanted to create a space that's more than just a shop—I want it to be a place where you can learn, feel supported, and be inspired to create something beautiful. Whether you're working with one of my patterns or just exploring, I hope this series gives you the boost to get started and enjoy the process.

So grab your punch needle and some thread—there's a lot of creativity waiting for you here.

Happy punching!
