Globe Thistle & Tulip Garden Punch Needle Digital Pattern

Put a modern spin on a centuries-old craft with our punch needle kit and workshop by fiber artist Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou. Using a canvas stretched with natural monk’s cloth, you’ll learn to create a work of art—but instead of paints and brushes, you’ll use yarn and a handmade wooden punch needle tool from Amy Oxford, inventor of this rug hooking variation.

This workshop takes you through the punch needle process from start to finish, from creating a pattern to threading your tool to the proper punching techniques. By the end of Arounna’s step-by-step instruction, you’ll have a beautiful new piece of wall art—and the know-how for making more.

This workshop includes: 

• A detailed, digital workshop by Arounna Khounnoraj
• A live and recorded Maker Chat Q&A for our community to join in creative conversation
• Tools and materials to create a canvas art piece for your wall 

The specialty tools and materials in our punch needle kit include:

• 12-by-12-inch frame stretched in natural monk’s cloth
• Three colors of our Lana yarn (in Aegean, Pumpkin and Golden)
• Size 10 handmade wooden punch needle tool (in collaboration with Amy Oxford)
• Mini snips (varying in size and color)

Happy making!    

This punch needle kit is made up of 3 original plant-inspired patterns illustrated by Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou paired with 12 heathered Lana yarn skeins curated to complement. Using the included monk’s cloth and a non-slip 10” hoop, Arounna has designed 3 punch needle patterns inspired by her original punch needle workshop with The Crafter’s Box. The yarns included in this punch needle kit are meant to be shared across the pattern set to guide you but also allow for color customization as you work. We encourage you to explore!

Your finished punch needle designs can be transferred to a traditional embroidery hoop for hanging,  turned into a pillow, stretched on a frame and so much more.

The tools & materials included in this punch needle kit:

• One 10” non-slip hoop
• Three individual botanical patterns: Poppy & Tulip, Philodendron, and Wild Violet 
• Twelve 50g skeins of our single-ply Lana wool blend yarn sourced from Italy 
• Three 14” x 14” pieces of Monk’s Cloth

This kit includes one specialized non-slip hoop, a wonderful alternative to stretching monk’s cloth on a traditional frame. Be sure to keep your monk’s cloth extra taut as you prepare each piece for punching.

Note: This kit does not include an Amy Oxford punch needle tool or instructions on how to punch needle. We highly recommend our full Punch Needle Art Workshop led by Arounna for a detailed video tutorial and starter set of tools & materials.

Happy making!
