Paradise

This punch needle design looks EXACTLY like an early hooked rug.  I used The Thread Gatherer's Sheep's Silk to punch this design.  Sheep's Silk is a 50/50 combo of silk and wool and it's just fabulous for punching!  This design measures approximately 8 3/4 x 6 3/16 and is a quick project when using a Cameo punchneedle (size medium) and 2 strands of Sheep's Silk.  Colors used are Cape Chestnut (2 skeins), Charcoal (4 skeins), Ink Black (3 skeins), Light Moss (1 skein), Lingonberry (2 skeins), Mississippi Mud (2 skeins), Moss Green (1 skein), Old Gold (2 skeins), Sage (1 skein) and Terra Cotta (2 skeins).
