Lavor Punch Needle Set with 3 Punch Needle Sizes and Instructions - for Floss and Yarn

Yes, the shaft of this is TINY, but that in no way was a negative for me. I did put an egg shaped "gripper" normally used for pencils on it, as I have terrible arthritis in my thumb, but didn't find the smaller size a hinderance while stitching. The tiny screw can be a challenge (again, arthritis) but the ease of which you change needles is great! Super easy to thread, and I didn't realize it actually came with TWO additional threaders besides the copper colored one in the kit. I'm brand new to needle punching, and just purchased my first kit here on amazon, and the needle was AWFUL! I am so glad I took a youtubers advice and upgraded my needle the very next day. The tips are nicely rounded so not super sharp to the touch, but glide beautifully through the fabric. EXTREMELY happy with my purchase!

There are literally hundreds of different brands of punch needles. So I watched a lot of YouTube videos to see what others are using. I like the way that the Lavor Needle Set fits within my hand; it's easy to thread and while lightweight, makes very durable stitches. Since I'm new at punch needle embroidery, I will, as many of my fellow crafters, experiment with all sorts of punch needles. But at this writing, so far, I've been using Lavor Needle Set and am quite pleased with it.

Easy to use.

I have tried SO many punch needles and this is the only one that works with size 2 yarn. I love it!

Doesn't rip the monks cloth and is a very smooth punch.

HEADS UP THIS IS NOT A REGULAR SIZED PUNCH NEEDLE. It’s waaaay smaller, too small for regular yarn. Wish I could return it.But the quality is there, feels well made.

I was excited to try this punch needle out but quality is bad. The needle keeps becoming loose and it’s difficult to punch when it retracts since it doesn’t stay in place. Returning it.

I received the needles and thought they were just great until I started using them. It seems that they are shedding the coating that is on the needle. The screw that holds the needle in place I think is the problem. When it tightens the needle it rubs into the coating and then the coating flakes off. I am very disappointed because I thought I would really like them. the other problem is that you can't get the needle screwed on tightly enough for it not to slip.I would send them back but have thrown away my envelope and part of the packaging has torn so I will just keep them. I would not buy these needles again.
