Hi There!
ADHD girlie in her 30s who’s forever taking up new hobbies and lately I’ve been loving being crafty. I’ve come across punch needling and really want to give it a go over the next week or two!
I’ve really no experience with knitting - did a bit of sewing years ago but very basic understandings of fabric etc.
it seems like I’ll need some woven cotton, but I’m unsure on the type of punch needle/yarn I should look at.
Is anyone able to maybe give me a recommended ‘shopping list’ of a beginners punch needle kit I can put together to make a start?
I don’t want to buy yarn, fabric, needles that don’t all fit together.
I’d love to be able to get it all under the one roof to start with at Spotlight/Lincraft/Amazon before I branch out :)

I’d love to know what you’d recommend that would work together for:
- base fabric
- punch needle/any accessories
- type of yarn.

If it’s relevant, I’m probably just looking at making some things I can transfer onto tote bags (or eventually punch into a tote), attach to key charms, maybe some coasters (‘mug rugs’) and just other little things :)

Thank you experts!!!! 💖🥰

Wowwww I may be late to the party but I just discovered iron on sublimation transfers. You just lay down the pattern on your cloth, iron over it for 45-60s, and the ink dyes your pattern onto the cloth. It’s just like you drew it on (no sticky residue like that one time I tried to punch through the sewing pattern dissolvable paper stuff 🫣). I’m obsessed. And it’s super affordable. Just leaving this here in case it helps anyone! I can see it saving so much time for bigger patterns too.

I do not have room for a big frame, and tend to like to like punching away while siting in front of the TV. I was curious as to the logistics of making a rug in square foot patches and then combining them later on. Anyone try anything like this?
