- Lucet Braiding: Variations on a Renaissance Cord by Elaine Fuller
Explorations beyond the common square cord using multiple threads, beads, gimp and ribbon, making spiral, flat and picot cords for trims, embroidery and costume accessories.
One word of warning ... this book is best for visual learners, I've met several people who were frustrated by the written directions. For me, the photos are enough for me to do any of the cords.
