C There are many times I use three strands of floss to stitch with. Especially if I'm stitching on Aida. It could also be three strands for when you only use one over one on evenweave or raw linen. I think?! v I think Donna has it right - it's spools for the punch needlers..... Cheryl Remind me to show you mind next time you are up this way. Having a yard sale this coming Saturday and cleaned out my stash something furious. Also a lot of my books as well/ Bobbie V. |

Victoria
I saw that. *What is punch needling? Victoria There are some people here who, write so much about drinking, that they might use their longest needles to mix their punch drink ..::: .... but usually a punch needle is used for a technique that is called Tambour embroidery [looks like chain embroidery] , or like another technique where people pull thin cut cloth `threads` through a canvas or Jutah. mirjam |

Sometimes it is called Russian embroidery, or Russian punch embroidery. Threads are pushed through a fabric base with a needle, so that it ends up looking a bit like very fine rug hooking. Dawne |

I have a book called
Hooked Rugs By Ann Davies and Emma Tennant, Sterling publishing, 1995, that shows [and explains] how to hook rugs with a Hook , and the techniqueis similar to Tambur or Punch needling ,,, mirjam |
