I am just beginning my journey into punch needle, your videos are making such a difference to straightening the learning curve. You have such a gentle voice and manner, your explanations are clear and informative which makes watching you such a pleasure. Many thanks xx
I love your videos,thanks for taking the time to do them for us ,much appreciated, they have helped me on the cushion that i'm making at the moment.WHO'S GOING TO PICK UP ALL THAT YARN!!! Te he he.
I love your videos!!! You are so good at explaining everything articulately and so it makes sense to beginners. The videos are well produced and the visuals help so much. I am so excited to start my project.
You are adorable!! Your videos are so helpful and give such thorough explanations. At first I didn’t think this was a “real” craft, I’m embarrassed to say. But then I saw your amazing work and realized the potential of punch needle to make gorgeous works of art!! You are so talented and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and lovely self! :)
this video is super informative! you make such great videos, i've been binging on all of them. i think you're the most helpful out of any punch needle youtuber i've seen so far. thank you so much for your time and effort. i'm putting the oxford punch needle on my birthday wishlist!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and I hope you find them just as helpful when you get your birthday punch needle! Happy punching! Amy
Amy Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos!❤ You are so brilliantly, informative, and, listening to your voice, is soothing and uplifting, which helps when you’re beginning a new craft to give confidence! I am just beginning and just received some beautiful monks cloth from your website! I was wondering, will you be restocking your newest book on your website? Thank you! Hugs!❤
So very informative - thank you! I've been wanting to try your punch for a while now. Time to order!!! PS: I prefer to call myself a "collector" rather than "hoarder" as well!
I love all of the fiber arts. I have a ton of wool needlepoint yarn from a shop friend's inventory. I doubt I will be doing any needlepoint. I'd like to use this yarn for something. I know I could use this for wall art but is it durable enough for rugs? It is the Paternayan brand.
Yes! I've tried punching with tshirt material and I know people who have done lovely work using that material. #6, #7, and #8 cut strips work in the regular punch and #3 cut strips work in the fine punch. You can experiment with different widths, but that should give you a good place to start. I hope this helps! Best, Amy
I purchased a very small kit at a craft store for like $5. I’m having a heck of a time getting the stitches to look even and normal. The kit uses embroidery thread, and it only calls for two strands. Would it be easier to learn if I used yarn instead?
Thank you for the great explanations of the different yarns. I have a question that I can't find the answer. I came across in my stash some 3 ply Needlepoint and Crewel wool yarn. I want to ask if it's useable for this tool and if so, what size? I just got the reg 10. Or, would it be better suited to a punch needle like the Ultra punch? 😊
Where did you get that yarn with the gold nuggets which isn't suitable for the punch needle? It's really beautiful! 💖 I've never done anything like rug hooking before, but after discovering your videos today, it's definitely another craft to try on my list!
Thanks for watching! I have punched with sari silk ribbon. It usually comes in skeins of very short lengths knotted together and I just cut out the knots and kept re-threading. It's a bit time consuming, but does look beautiful! Amy
Hi, I am interested in this craft, but I like the look of the loop rather than the cut pile, can someone tell me the name of the tool I need to create loop pile rugs please? Using yarn rather than a rag rug using material. Thank you.
We do use the Briggs & Little Heritage line as well as their other 2 ply yarns such as the Regal and Tuffy lines in the fine point punch needles. The Briggs & Little Super line works well in our regular punch needles. I hope this helps! Amy
Can the size 13 or 14 needle be used with a yarn that has a weight of 3? (It's 125 m, 50 g). It seems a bit thin for the needles but just wondering if it will still work? Thank you!
I would love to try this, but there is anyway to do this without having to buy the frame? I’d be happy to buy the frame if I like the craft, but it’s a big investment otherwise.

Always learning something from you, Amy. And knowing I am not a yarn hoarder - but a collector, makes me feel better!

Thank you for such a wonderful and instructional video! I got the feeling you’d been playing in my stash. Your terms described the yarns perfectly.
Thank you, I appreciate the information
Love that last bit!!
Thank you - I had so much fun with that part! Amy
Thank you for another lovely video!! I'm learning so much from you! Saludos from the other side of the world!

I'm so glad you've found it helpful! Thanks for watching! Amy
Thank you for a great tutorial! You are a wealth of inspiration and information! ❤️
Thank you for watching! Best, Amy
As a yarn nerd, I really liked the bit where you introduced every yarn separately :)
So very informative - thank you! I've been wanting to try your punch for a while now. Time to order!!! PS: I prefer to call myself a "collector" rather than "hoarder" as well!
Yarn collectors unite! Thanks so much for watching!

I'm in your company!
Thank-you for another awesome tutorial, so glad you decided to make these. I am learning so much from you.
I'm so glad you like them! Thanks for watching! Amy
HAHA! Slippery slope indeed! Thank you for this video.
This was so helpful thanks
Amy Oxford, you are lovely 😁👍❤️
Awesome tutorial! So the one you are using is a number 10 regular? And what size loop does it create? Thanks, Judy
I love all of the fiber arts. I have a ton of wool needlepoint yarn from a shop friend's inventory. I doubt I will be doing any needlepoint. I'd like to use this yarn for something. I know I could use this for wall art but is it durable enough for rugs? It is the Paternayan brand.
Can you use this for a tshirt yarn? I'd like to experiment on upcycling. The thinnest tshirt yarn we can manage to create maybe? Thoughts?
Yes! I've tried punching with tshirt material and I know people who have done lovely work using that material. #6, #7, and #8 cut strips work in the regular punch and #3 cut strips work in the fine punch.

Have you ever used a velvety/velour type of yarn? Would that work?
Thanks for the needle threading demo,now all I need is a needle.? Hmnnn! I live in Trinidad west Indies
Where did you get that yarn with the gold nuggets which isn't suitable for the punch needle? It's really beautiful! 💖

Thank you so much for this informative video. Have you used sari silk ribbon with the punch needle?
Thanks for watching! I have punched with sari silk ribbon. It usually
comes in skeins of very short lengths knotted together and I just cut
out the knots and kept re-threading. It's a bit time consuming, but
does look beautiful! Amy

I have a lot of worsted weight 100% wool yarn. Will 2 strands work in the regular size needle?
Yes - worsted weight works well in the fine point needles, but you can you certainly double up and use the regular sized needles as well!
Amy, is the Briggs & Little yarn their Heritage line?
We do use the Briggs & Little Heritage line as well as their other 2 ply yarns such as the Regal and Tuffy lines in the fine point punch needles. The Briggs & Little Super line works well in our regular punch needles. I hope this helps! Amy

Can you share the link for the needs or need sets
Where can I buy a rug punch needle from?, I only have an embroidery size.
We sell them on our website - amyoxford.com. Thanks for asking! Amy
Hi Mam thanks for your tutorial it was awesome. Can you tel me what kind of cloth we should use for punch needle
I use and recommend monk's cloth, but other fabrics such as linen can also be used. I hope this helps! Amy
Thank for the reply mam,here in India it is difficult to get monk cloth is it okay to use cotton or jute cloth
