{"product_id":"dmc-fine-punch-needle","title":"DMC Fine Punch Needle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fine punch needle - the one to buy if you want to punch with thread rather than yarn. It takes three interchangeable tips, so one tool covers a range of thread weights, and the barrel adjusts, which is what sets the height of your loops: short barrel for a tight, flat pile, longer for a deep shaggy one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three interchangeable tips - 2.2 mm, 1.6 mm and 1.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread match:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2.2 mm tip suits Pearl Cotton no. 3, the 1.6 mm no. 5 and the 1.3 mm no. 8.
