Made in New York State, the Ultra Punch Needle is a modern tool for quick and easy embroidery. Thanks to its interchangeable needles and adjustable depth, Ultra Punch Needle can handle a wide variety of fibers and techniques. Try using Ultra Punch with embroidery floss, sashiko thread, crewel wool, pearl cotton, and lighter weights of yarn — this lightweight punch needle can handle them all.

As art supply dealers, we love Ultra Punch because it's the closest thing to drawing with thread. Load up your Ultra Punch with your favorite fibers, like variegated sashiko threads or fancy fingering-weight wool, and showcase their texture and color with a natural motion that's similar to moving a pen. Even beginner embroiderers can quickly express their ideas on fabric.

Included in the starter set: the ergonomic Ultra Punch handle; three needles (small, medium, and large); two springs (one for the small and medium needles and one for the large needle); two needle threaders; and an instruction booklet.

Not included: an embroidery hoop (you need a very sturdy one, like the no-slip plastic hoops in our photos); a piece of fabric; a suitable spool of yarn or floss.
