Books con­tain­ing pat­terns relat­ing to Tilli Tomas yarns

Planet Earth Fiber was selected as one of the prod­ucts fea­tured in the lastest Book by Marinda Stew­art called ‘Punch­nee­dle: The Com­plete Guide’.

Punch­nee­dle is a type of embrodery where the fab­ric is stretched over a hoop and then a spe­cial nee­dle is used to punch the fiber through the fab­ric, cre­at­ing loops.  The fin­ished results can resem­ble minia­ture hooked rugs but the pieces cre­ated are gen­er­ally quite small.The book cov­ers the tools and mat­te­ri­als requred.  Each tech­nique is illus­trated with a small sam­ple and instruc­tions so that you can include it in your own project.

You can not go wrong! I picked up the book at my knit­ting store and am adding it to my knit­ting library that I keep in the kitchen.
