Punch Needle
Exhibitor
Zweigart & Sawitzki GmbH & Co. KG
With a punch needle, one works on the top side of a fabric, while loops are being created on the reverse side. The stitched image on the top side is flat and much clearer as well as more detailed, while the loops on the reverse side create a 3-dimensional look.
Our articles 3528 Monk’s Cloth (7 ct.), 3517 Monk’s Cloth Fine (13 ct.) and 1198 Floba (18 ct.) are the ideal base fabrics for achieving perfect results in punch needle works with wool yarns. Several other fabrics from our product range can also excellently be used for this technique, even for finer punch needle works.
If the background of the punched motif is to remain partly free, our evenweave articles 3609 - 32ct. Belfast Linen, 3984 – 32ct. Murano and 3835 – 25ct. Lugana offer a lovely choice of colors and are well suitable. Special background effects can be created with our printed fabrics, such as Petit Point, Sparkle, Vintage, Splash and Leaves or with our metallic threaded fabrics, such as our colors opal, gold and silver
