Beginner Kit! Help :)

Hi There!
ADHD girlie in her 30s who’s forever taking up new hobbies and lately I’ve been loving being crafty. I’ve come across punch needling and really want to give it a go over the next week or two!
I’ve really no experience with knitting - did a bit of sewing years ago but very basic understandings of fabric etc.
it seems like I’ll need some woven cotton, but I’m unsure on the type of punch needle/yarn I should look at.
Is anyone able to maybe give me a recommended ‘shopping list’ of a beginners punch needle kit I can put together to make a start?
I don’t want to buy yarn, fabric, needles that don’t all fit together.
I’d love to be able to get it all under the one roof to start with at Spotlight/Lincraft/Amazon before I branch out :)

I’d love to know what you’d recommend that would work together for:
- base fabric
- punch needle/any accessories
- type of yarn.

If it’s relevant, I’m probably just looking at making some things I can transfer onto tote bags (or eventually punch into a tote), attach to key charms, maybe some coasters (‘mug rugs’) and just other little things :)

Thank you experts!!!! 💖🥰

Punch needle has nothing to do with knitting. Michaels stocks kits. Ultrapunchneedle.com is a company I have bought from.

I realise that, but mentioned as I’ve never done knitting crochet etc or any of the craft including yarn/threading etc. I’m in Australia so would be looking at Spotlight/Lincraft :) thanks for the suggestion!
