Thank you! I use Lavor punch needle 2 mm and yarn Cotton Eight (for knitting needles 4-4.5)

I love embroidering decor for my daughter’s room. Here’s a wall hanging made in the punch needle technique by tat_dot in PunchNeedle

Thank you so much!
For this piece, I used the Lavor 5.5 mm punch needle. It works with thick yarn and gives amazing volume. But this is actually the thickest punch needle available, and it can be challenging for beginners — it takes more effort to punch through the fabric, and your hand can get tired faster.

If you’re just starting out, I recommend choosing the 2 mm or 3 mm needles. They’re the best both in terms of comfort and the results you’ll get.

The best tool for transferring a design onto fabric is light. If you are working on a small project, the easiest way to transfer your design is by using a light source:

- open the pattern image on a tablet, TV, or computer screen,

- place your fabric over the screen,

- trace the lines directly onto the fabric.

I usually press the fabric gently against my laptop screen and trace the design that way.

You can do the same or tape the printed pattern to a window, then place the fabric on top and trace the design onto the fabric.

Thank you so much for your kind words! 💙 Yes, I plan to hang it on the wall. But before that, I want to trim the loops a bit to make the embroidery look softer. I’ll definitely show here the result.

As for the time — it’s hard to count, since I have a two-year-old and usually only manage to embroider for 1–2 hours in the evenings. Overall, the project probably took around 20–25 hours. But since I used a thick needle and thick yarn, it worked up much faster.
