De Bondt Proudly Partners with The Oxford Company 

Since 2025, De Bondt has partnered with The Oxford Company, bringing the world-renowned Oxford Punch Needle collection to professional makers, retailers and fibre art specialists. 

Craft Led Innovation 

Founded by fibre artist Amy Oxford, The Oxford Company was born from decades of professional rug making experience and a clear ambition: to create the most comfortable, precise and reliable punch needle tools available. 

The Oxford Punch Needle has become globally recognised for its ergonomic design and exceptional performance. Developed in collaboration with an engineer and tested extensively by experienced makers, the handle supports natural hand movement, reducing fatigue during longer creative sessions. 

From concept to construction, the Oxford approach reflects a belief that tools should enhance the making process through thoughtful design, durability and consistency. 

The Oxford Collection at De Bondt 

De Bondt offers a comprehensive selection of Oxford tools and materials, supporting both beginners and experienced punch needle artists. 

Oxford Punch Needles 

Available individually in natural or Symfonie wood finishes, or as complete sets presented in durable cotton zippered cases, Oxford Punch Needles are designed for precision and ease. 

Key features include: 

• Smooth electroplated tips for snag free punching 
• Effortless threading for uninterrupted workflow 
• FSC certified hardwood handles, sustainably sourced and crafted for longevity 
• Included stitch gauge and illustrated instructions for confident setup 

These tools are widely regarded as the benchmark for comfort and performance within the punch needle community. 

Oxford Monk’s Cloth 

A reliable foundation is essential for consistent results. Oxford Pre Cut Monk’s Cloth, made from 100% cotton, provides strength, resilience and ideal spacing for clean, even loops. 

Designed to withstand repeated punching and reworking, it offers durability without compromising fabric integrity, making it suitable for all Oxford needle sizes. 

Oxford Frames and Accessories 

For optimal results, fabric tension must remain firm and even. Oxford Gripper Strip Lap Frames are designed to hold cloth drum tight, ensuring smooth punching and consistent loop formation. 

Crafted from high quality pine, these frames combine stability with portability. The range is complemented by fleece frame covers for enhanced comfort and specialised cleaning brushes for easy maintenance. 

Violet Jane Yarns 

To complete the system, De Bondt also stocks the full range of Violet Jane yarns. Hand dyed in rich solid and variegated shades, these 100% high twist 3 ply wool yarns deliver smooth feeding and beautifully defined loops. 

• Rug Yarn – suited to #8, #9 and #10 Regular Point needles 
• Fine Yarn – ideal for #8 to #10 and #13 and #14 Fine Point needles 

Together, these components form a fully integrated punch needle system designed for professional quality results. 

A Complete Punch Needle Ecosystem 

By partnering with The Oxford Company, De Bondt offers customers access to a cohesive, thoughtfully developed collection built by makers, for makers. 

From iconic tools to carefully selected materials, the Oxford range reflects a shared commitment to quality, reliability and creative confidence.
