DIY Punch Needle Kits for Beginners Cute Cartoon Highland Cow with Daisy Flower with Hoop Embroidery Punch Needle Starter Craft Set Easy for Adults and Children Festival Gift and Decoration 20x20cm-1

UPDATE: since the writing of my original review, CSRP Handiwork was kind enough to send me a few kits with updated revised materials, and I’ve since completed the Highland Cow punch needle kit. The contents, packaged in a nice box, are improved as follows: finer, easier to use yarn with appropriate colors, thinner & longer punch needle - love it, better fabric, better scissors … I also checked out the online video, even though audio free, it provided great examples of different stitch techniques to get certain design looks. I’ve also previously watched a few short online utube videos as well. I will note that with the Highland Cow, while I had enough yarn to finish the project, I had to be careful with the lighter brown color & not waste it; may be partly my fault because I did some extra layers of stitching in a few places. I’m very happy with these newly revised kits from CSRP, I appreciate their customer service, & will definitely purchase these fun, cute, & relaxing kits again. I’ve included a few photos to show the colors of the yarns in different lighting.Why did you pick this product vs others?:Sooo … I’m glad this Wolf needle punch kit was not my first kit to try (it was my 2nd); this kit left me frustrated. I’ve worked with many various types of yarns before while knitting, etc., & I believe the included yarn in this kit may be the lowest quality yarn I’ve ever used; it tended to split & came apart too easily. Also, not enough yarn was included for one of the colors. One of the colors included was the wrong color: instead of a golden brown, yellow was included. The yarn was too thick for the project; I couldn’t get the detail as needed (& as pictured online). The yarn was too thick for the needle punch tool, but useable. After spending too much for this kit for what I received, I definitely did not want to go buy my own yarn. The fabric was of low quality, & also not as pictured online. The included scissors would not cut the yarn; I threw that away. The threading tool came apart, but I repaired with my own tape. Luckily, I had already watched punch needle videos on utube, so I was able to make this project work with extra effort. I wanted to do some silk stitches, but they mostly came out when I tried it, & I had to be careful because the punch needle left oversized holes in the fabric, so I needed to get the stitches right the first time as much as possible. The included hoop is a good hoop. I used the plastic needle to drawstring stitch the fabric behind the hoop. I received this item quickly.

Fun activity to do as a night shift worker to pass the time. I did it in less than 6 hours while working. Instructions are unclear and the yarn threader broke pretty early on. Ran out of the dark yarn. He’s cute this and I got a little creative with the extra colors

Unfortunately, I suffer from an over inflated ego, which makes me see a craft and immediately think “Pfft, I can do that..” lucky for me (and my bank account) that this is, in fact, a craft that I CAN do! Like the other reviews said, the instructions aren’t the most crystal clear, but after a 2 second YouTube video, I was basically an expert.As pictured- I didn’t run out of any yarn, some colors I definitely came close, but I didn’t need to buy any more yarn or anything (this project would’ve never gotten done if I did), I digress. I started this project at the respectable hour of midnight, and finished just around 3:30 AM (… and after admiring my work for 20 minutes, here I am, writing a review). The yarn was surprisingly nice to the touch, it wasn’t scratchy like I thought it would be. I immediately broke the yarn threader though, but then again, it’s literally a wire held together by the equivalent of dollar store tape. Once the tape is off.. you can still use it, so, did I even break it? ANYWAY! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this project and I’m very happy with the end result, I’ll definitely be buying more in the future.

I ordered this kit as I wanted to try a new project. The video instructions were clear and easy to follow, however the supplies received do not perform the way the video shows they should. The yarn is too thick for the punch needle. Every time I punched the yarn through, it would come out on the next punch. The yarn does not move through the needle at all. I tried to manually hold the yarn in the back when I pulled the needle through, but that frayed the yarn and really didn’t work well either, and frankly, it is not the way this is supposed to work at all. I think with either a different needle or thinner, smoother yarn, this could be a very cute project. Unfortunately I bought both the highland cow and the sloth and both have the same issue.

I bought this punch needle kit for my daughter, and it was a great choice. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and we had no trouble assembling it. A fun, creative project that kept her engaged!

The fabric it’s on starting fraying right away. The string is so thick that it’s challenging to work with and easily pops out as your working, which is very frustrating. The colors also aren’t as shown, with the orange for the corgi being like a neon orange in reality.

Picture quality is bad and looks much worse than the photo online. The scissors don’t work. The hoop is nice.

It’s cute! Kit comes with everything you need to get started on punch needles. Easy craft to kill time.
