This kit includes everything you need to get started doing punch needle, including a really funky book of non-miniature uses for punch needle. (See her sweater?)
Everything shown is included: medium needle (uses Purrfect Punch acrylic yarn or 2 or 3 strands of embroidery floss), special hoop, needle threader, 2 spools of yarn, fabric and beginner's guide.
The kit sells for $15, plus $3 shipping, and I'll include my basic punch needle for miniature rugs instruction sheet as well.
The only other thing you might want is a thread holder, it's important that the yarn unreel easily. I make and sell the simple spool rack shown above on the right that holds two spools of yarn. Sold with the basic kit, it's $5, postage included, sold separately, it's $6 plus postage.
