My New Lucet

Knitting & Tatting, misc. August 17th, 2008

I figured some of you might not know what a lucet looks like.  Well, here it is:

Lucet

You see it surrounded by several lucet cords.. The curl that extends on the right-hand side of the picture is made with a double-strand of worsted weight yarn.  The bigger “chunk” on the left-hand side is a chord made out of a single-strand chord.

Essentially, a lucet is used to make a 4-sided cord that’s incredible strong and (depending on what material you use) much less stretchy than other types of cord-making (i.e. a knitted I-cord).  It’s VERY fast and very easy (once you figure it out).

Grace and peace,

`tim
