Slow down and get creative with punch needling — a fun and relaxing fiber art that turns simple yarn into soft, textured designs. In this class, you’ll learn how to use a punch needle tool to “paint” with loops of yarn, creating a small wall hanging, patch, or decorative piece to take home.

We’ll walk you through everything from choosing your materials and setting up your frame to mastering basic stitches and finishing your work. You’ll also explore ways to play with color, texture, and design to make your piece truly your own.

There will be an additional $10 supply fee due to the instructor in the beginning of class.
