CTR Needleworks Punch Needles

01/27/2022

It’s the final day for me to button up almost 20 years of making & selling CTR Punch-needles.

I feel so fortunate to have met so many creative and interesting people along the way.

I am excited to retire from the manufacturing world & onto new adventures!

No fear if you still need something-My distributors have stocked up!

Thank you for loving my product & all the kudos over the years for making atop notch, long lasting punch needle! I really appreciate it💕

Thanks everyone for your patience during our 1st time EVER (well maybe 10 years ago in the beginning growing days) of being sold out of all inventory! We are 100% back to filling orders! Special shout out to bookhou.com who warned me how much she loves our product and to be ready for the sell out wave!

Hello all! Many recent inquires lately about Norden Crafts, one of our 3 distributors, who closed up very quickly.
We still have two other distributors who sell to many retail shops.
To help the product flow for the retail shops, we have set up a way for you to still sell our complete product line. Shoot me an email if you are just learning Norden has closed. [email protected] and we will help you keep the punching going in your shop!
For direct consumer purchases, I will be posting a list of some shops I know have our product in stock.
Thank you for purchasing our top notch USA made product line!

Yough Defense Party | Mountain Watershed Association

Only four days until the Mountain Watershed Yough Defense Party. http://www.mtwatershed.com/events/yough-defense-party-2/

This is a great night in our small town to come together and raise money to protect our tributaries and our greatest natural resource, the Youghiogheny river.

If you have never been to Ohiopyle, PA, it is a must! White water, fly fishing, http://www.laurelhighlandsguideservices.com biking, hiking and two Frank Loyd Wright homes within 10 miles of one another- Fallingwater and Kentuck K**b. And so much more~I live in a really cool area! Check out this video~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGtv9T3r5Ok&feature=youtu.be

SO anyways...I got a little side track. Back to the auction. I made this really great pillow from hand dyed wool and cotton floss using a punch needle. I will be posting how to videos here and on You Tube of how to do this lost craft! Stay posted for instructional videos! In the mean time, I hope this bring a pretty penny for the defense fund!

Have a great day and happy punching!
