Punch-needle embroidery is the perfect creative and mindful hobby, and involves punching threads into fabric to form a design.

With this beautifully illustrated book by Clare Youngs, you'll learn how to use this skill of 'painting with wool' to make 30 gorgeous and colourful projects. For the home, try your hand at stitching textured plant pot covers, or create a hanging decoration as a centrepiece for your living room. You'll also discover how to make accessories including a patterned tote bag, and designs such as zipped pouches and geometric cushions that make brilliant gifts. So pick up a punch needle and explore your creative side with this accessible and versatile craft.
