Lucet

Lucet is a traditional craft that involves creating sturdy cords or straps by hand, using a specialized two-pronged fork called a lucet. The process involves looping and twisting yarn or thread around the prongs, which allows for tight, uniform braids that can be used for laces, cords, or decorative trim. It’s a portable, straightforward technique that produces durable, flexible cordage without needing knitting or weaving tools. Historically, lucet work has been used in various cultures for practical purposes like shoe laces and edging, and today it’s appreciated both as a craft and a historical art form.
