Lucet History


Lucet Class Video

Video: Cord Making with a Lucet w/ Debbie Coyle (YouTube) — My beginning lucet class on how to make a 1 thread, a 2 thread (@44 minutes), and a 3 or 4 thread cord (@55 minutes) on the lucet.

Students should have: A lucet or two pronged fork, and Rat tail cord or size 3 or 5 crochet cotton. How to prep for the online class


Lucet Cordmaking Methods

One thread method
A Two thread method -- A method that makes two color cord, cord with a slit down the middle, cord with picots.

A Three (or four) thread method -- Adds a third (and forth) cord to the two cord method. This allows you to add accents down the center of the cord ... including beads and other fun stuff!


Double Lucets
