What is Etrofil Punch and what makes it different?

It is a 100% micro-acrylic yarn in 25g balls with 70 m per ball, made in Turkey. It is formed from six fine twisted plies that create a medium-weight yarn with a silky sheen and a soft feel. The brand designed it especially for punch needle embroidery.

Micro-acrylic is an acrylic made from finer fibres than conventional acrylic, and you can feel the difference: Etrofil Punch is soft and has a sheen that highlights the raised texture of embroidery and knitted or crocheted surfaces. It is a shiny acrylic yarn that looks striking in both embroidery and yarn crafts.

It is part of the selection of Etrofil yarns available in our shop, alongside other yarns from the same brand.

What projects can you make with this micro-acrylic yarn?

This yarn was created for punch needle embroidery, where its medium weight and six plies create full loops and a textured finish. With 3 to 4 mm needles or hooks, it also works well for crochet and knitting, making it suitable for amigurumi, appliqués and decorative details with a touch of sheen.

  • ▷ Punch needle wall art, tapestries and cushions
  • ▷ Brooches, patches and appliqués for personalising bags or garments
  • ▷ Amigurumi and small figures where you want a finish with a subtle sheen
  • ▷ Crochet flowers, edgings and decorative trims
  • ▷ Colour details in knitting projects that combine several shades

The 25g format is very practical when a project requires lots of colours but only a small amount of each. If you would like to explore more options for this technique, take a look at our yarns for punch needle embroidery.

How do you work with Etrofil Punch for crochet and punch needle?

For knitting and crochet, the label recommends 3 to 4 mm needles or hooks. The reference knitting tension is 22 stitches and 33 rows over 10 × 10 cm. As it is a twisted, even yarn, it is easy to work with and creates well-defined stitches, which is especially useful for amigurumi and small details.

  • ▷ Knitting: 3 to 4 mm needles; make a swatch before starting to adjust the tension to your pattern
  • ▷ Crochet: 3 to 4 mm crochet hook; for amigurumi, choose the smaller size to create a dense fabric
  • ▷ Punch needle: the brand does not specify a particular needle size; test it first on a piece of fabric to check that the yarn feeds smoothly and the loops stay secure
