Monks Cloth
Monk’s cloth is a 100% cotton fabric and is the most popular backing for use with the Oxford Punch Needle because it is so soft and durable. It is suitable for all sizes of Oxford Punch Needles and is also great for traditional rug hooking. The monks cloth on this listing is from Zweigart and is such beautiful quality and so lovely to punch. It still has approximately 12 - 14 double stitches per inch and is 144cm in width. Although it does not have the white line you can still stretch your monks cloth evenly across the frame by following the line of holes and thread. Because it is 100% cotton, you can also dye the monks cloth.

Zweigart Monks Cloth really stands out above the rest, such a great quality. The texture, the weight, the softness, you will feel the difference when you punch with Zweigart Monks Cloth.
Monks cloth is the favoured backing cloth for punching because of its durability. It is difficult to always get the colour or style you want right the first time so this means punching, removing what you have punched and then punching again. The durability of monks cloth allows you to do this without it tearing or breaking.
Because this monks cloth does not have the white line, it makes it easier to dye if you want a different colour backing.
