Punch Club at Lole Wellness

Punch needle is a craft technique using a special tool to create loops of yarn or thread on fabric. Invented in the 1880s for rug making, it's now used for various items like cushions and wall hangings. The rhythmic punching motion is relaxing, making it popular among textile enthusiasts.
