Oxford Punch Needle "Fine" (Sizes 8 to 14): The Ergonomic Needle for Perfect Details
The "never without" of professionals. If you seek perfection in every stitch, the Oxford Punch Needle is the investment that will change the way you embroider forever. Created by the legendary Amy Oxford, it's more than just a needle: it's the ultimate tool. Why does it cost more? Because it's the only one with an ergonomic maple handle that allows you to work for hours without ever getting sore hands. Once you experience this comfort, you'll never go back.
Why choose the "Fine" version? Pay attention to the name! "Fine" doesn't mean "very thin." It's the perfect size for those who love definition but use ordinary yarns.
-
Ideal Yarns: Wools, cottons and blends to be worked with needles 3.5 - 4. (Not suitable for chunky wool).
-
Superpower: No more needle threading! Thanks to the patented side groove, you thread wool in just 2 seconds.
-
Fabrics: Matches perfectly with the standard Monk's Cloth.
CHOICE GUIDE: Which size is right for you? The difference between the sizes is only the height of the ring (buttonhole). Here's how to choose without making a mistake:
🌟 IF YOU'RE UNDECIDED, START HERE:
-
No. 10 Fine (6 mm) - The Classic: This is the world's best-selling standard size. The ring height is perfect for any project, from cushions to clutches. It ensures dense, neat, and easy-to-manage embroidery. If this is your first Oxford, get this one.
For special effects:
-
n.8 Fine (13 mm) - The "Fluffy": Creates the tallest loop ever. Choose it if you want to give a strong 3D relief to a detail (e.g. the center of a flower protruding from the frame).
-
n.9 Fine (10 mm) - The Balanced: A middle ground that offers nice volume without being as "extreme" as the 8.
-
No. 13 Fine (5 mm) - The Elegant: Low profile. Ideal for achieving a "shaved Persian rug" effect. Excellent for writing that must remain legible.
-
No. 14 Fine (3 mm) - The "Micro": The shortest needle. Creates very low loops, almost flush with the fabric. Essential for fine details, sharp outlines, or creating "flat" backgrounds that enhance the relief created with longer needles.
