CTR Punch Needles & Threaders

Needles in a Haystack

Haystack Storage Box

I am happy to be able to offer a high-quality punch needle at an affordable price! The CTR needles are all metal, have comfortable handles, and come with pre-cut depth gauges to adjust the height of your loops; gauges can be cut into smaller pieces for precise adjustments by you. This is the only needle I know of that has a bevel indicator right on the handle to quickly you show you the direction the needle bevel is facing while you punch (a very clever and useful design feature.) You can also add a foam pencil grip to the handle for added comfort. Each needle comes with a threader.

Be sure to order a few extra threaders, so you are never without!

This kit from CTR is wonderful for beginners, or for the seasoned needle puncher who wants to try all these great CTR products. Includes: CTR Punch Needles in sizes 1, 3, and 6; 5 Extra Threaders; Extra Gauges for all the needle sizes; Haystack Storage Box.

Haystack Box, with magnetic inner lid keeps threaders from flying away, and has enough extra room to hold your thread snips or scissors, too.

This is a great value! Total retail if purchased separately is $92.00. That's a $13.00 savings!

Great storage solution from CTR for all your punch needle tools! Plenty of room for 3 punch needles in their protective tubes, scissors or thread snips, other necessities. it has a magnetic strip inside the lid to safely hold your threaders, scissors and pins in place while you work. See-through case lets you easily see what's inside. It even has a handy ruler right on the lid!

Weaver's Cloth

Woven Fusible Interfacing

Beginner's Kit

The most suitable foundation fabric for punch needle embroidery. It is a blend of cotton/poly, with a tight weave and even grain. Natural color is similar to muslin, but better for punch needle work, as it does not tear as easily.

$2.50 fat 1/4 Yd (22x18")

$5.00 fat 1/2 Yd (22x36")

$10.00 Full Yd (44x36")

When you want to work punch needle embroidery on wool, felt, or other fabrics that are more loosely woven, draw or transfer your pattern to the interfacing, and then iron this woven fusible interfacing to the back of the fabric; your loops will stay in the foundation fabric much better. You will need to adjust your depth gauge to allow for a loop that is long enough to go through the two layers of fabric.

I created this kit as a learning tool, as well as a supply starter, for anyone who wants to learn to do punch needle embroidery. Included in the kit is my Heart of America pattern, the threads to work the design, my "Learning Miniature Needle Punch Embroidery" how-to booklet, a 3-strand CTR punch needle & threader, and a 4-inch Hoop-La locking embroidery hoop. This also makes a great gift for a friend!
