Oxford Punch Needle "Regular" (Sizes 8 to 10): The Fast Needle for Rugs and Thick Wool
The King of Rugs: Robust, Fast, Indestructible. If your goal is to create soft surfaces quickly, the Oxford Regular is the needle that will change your life. Designed by Amy Oxford to "eat" thick wool, it's the tool that gives you maximum satisfaction because you see your project grow before your eyes! Thanks to the ergonomic maple wood handle, you can work on a rug or cushion for hours without feeling any fatigue in your hand.
Why you'll love the "Regular" version:
-
Goodbye Threader: Here too, Oxford magic strikes. Thanks to the side groove, you can thread thick wool in a second without tools. Changing colors is a breeze!
-
Speed: With a large eye, it uses thick yarns (Bulky, Chunky or Rug Yarn). This means you fill the fabric much faster than with fine needles.
-
Creative Versatility: Don't have thick wool? No problem! You can use 2 or 3 strands of thin wool together to create unique "melange" shades.
BUYING GUIDE: Which size is right for you? The needle width is always the same (for thick wool), only the loop height changes.
🌟 BEST SELLER: Oxford 10 Regular (6 mm) - The "Classic Rug": Creates low, compact loops. It's the most versatile and robust size. Choose it if: you want to make a rug for the floor or a cushion for a chair. Being low pile, it flattens less and resists foot traffic.
For those who want more softness:
-
Oxford 9 Regular (10 mm) - Soft Volume: The perfect middle ground. Softer than the 10, but still neat. Ideal for decorative cushions or cozy bedside rugs.
-
Oxford 8 Regular (13 mm) - The "Fluffy" Effect: Maximum relief! Creates tall and super soft loops. Choose it for: adding three-dimensionality (e.g., the fleece of a sheep) or for areas where you want to sink your hand into softness.
Recommended Fabric: Attention! This needle is powerful and requires a fabric that can handle it. Use it with Monk's Cloth with a wide weave (do not use tight weaves or you risk piercing the fabric! or at least having to put in a lot of effort to get through it).
