My grandfather carved me a lovely wooden lucet fork when I was a young child. I made yards and yards of cord, got no idea what he did with it! Many, many years later I came across the lucet in a memory box that my mother had. It now has pride of place on my bookshelf as a reminder of happy days and years long past.
You are the luckiest lady. That is an amazing keepsake treasure. What beautiful memories to have with a gorgeous piece to go with it. I bet there are wonderful stories and memories to have with such a beautiful piece of work.🎉👴😍👨👩👧👦
after watching the first 12 minutes of your video, I went into the kitchen and grabbed my plastic two -pronged meat fork from Dollar Tree and proceeded to follow along! Great fun. I'm thinking braided rug for a fun project. Thanks for sharing this technique. Your lucet looks beautiful!
As a child many years ago we used to make something like that with a cotton real with a few nails on the top and wrapped the yarn around the nails and it would come through the hole like cord. Used to have great fun making it. So that brought back happy memories. Thank you Craig. 🤗❤️
I made one from an old fork by bending the center tines down with pliers. Sanded the roughness off and buffed it and it works well. I made one with a flat wooden spatula by cutting out the center and drilling a hole in the spot where the hole goes. Sanded it and put a clear coat on it. It works nicely also.
Thanks Craig for showing us this lovely old way to make cord. I'm from The Netherlands and we used to make cord as kids with a French Knitting tool where you make 4 stitches in the round. So with a lucet you make 2 stitches, how wonderful. I like the idea of beefing up some very thin yarn, so I'll be doing that as soon as I get my own lucet. Keep up the good work and stay safe. 🤗💯
Brilliant video, thank you. I never knew what this gadget was for... now I know and next time I see one in the charity shop I am definitely getting it. Another tool into my crafty box... I am thinking... making lots of yards of the cord and maybe use it to make some basket, bag or something... depending on the material 🤔 Thank you 🙏🏻♥️
thank you so much for your video - I've had a Lucet for years and never really understood how to use it - I'll go up to my sewing room and find it and now be able to make a cord xx
Thanks for this, I purchased one a few years ago and really struggled to keep even tension however after watching you i think it is time to try again! I got it to make coasters.
I forget I have these sometimes lol. I made some in my wood-shop and they were actually fun to make. I like using them for cords and for using up scrap yarn. I never thought to make shoe laces, very cool idea.
I bought one from Amazon and I did need to take sandpaper then polish with steel wool. It works :) Thanks for the tutorial ❤. P.s. I made an acquaintance with Russ from its raining yarn. He speaks highly of you 😊
Fun! Next you will be hand winding yarn balls with a Nostepinne (it is really just a fancy stick but I use it for my leftovers - if I want a center pull).
That is really interesting. I've never seen that before. You learn something new every day. And thanks to you I have learned something new today and I would like to try and do that. Thank you very much. You're the best
Thank you for showing us this wonderful tool. First time knowing and seeing it. You had me captivated the whole video. I am now looking to buy one and see how nice they are. Love you and your channel.
😆 Love the shoelaces! 👍👏 Excellent tutorial! Not sure what I would do with the cording, considering it's a bit elastic... Maybe necklace cording? (really thin yarn) Maybe add some pretty beads to it? 🤔
I bought a crochet kit and it came with one of those ( plastic) and I have no idea what it was for 😂. Thanks for the tutorial, I will try it now what I know what is for.
Interesting tool. I definitely prefer the non-turning method. I'm wondering if my granddaughter would enjoy using this to make bracelets. Thank you for the tutorial!
TY! I have a project using my Lucet (so far unlearned) and as usual excellent tutorial. I am planning on including beads but step one is making a cord lol. I think the idea of making thicker yarn out of thin is a winner, also using regular 4weight to make a bulky sounds great to me!
When cotton thread was on wooden spool (now plastic) we would hammer two, three, or four little nails in the top of the spool and flip the yarn over the nails, the cord goes through the centre of the spool .. we would get excited when our cord showed up through the hole in the spool .. we would spread open a bobby pin (with wax over the ends) and use that to pass yarn over the nails .. these can be bought like this in craft section of stores .. just like the cord spider is doing ..
The plastic ends of shoelaces are called aglets. I learned that due to a Phenius and Ferb song. Who says cartoons can't help you learn! Anyway, great video. I love to learn about different ways that yarn is used.
Hint Idea: If you get some shrink tube (usualy for wiring} you can make the ends secure with a very short section and it will go through the eyelets . It's called shrink tube because when you put a flame to it it shrinks onto the item your wanting to secure. Hope this helps. 👍👍💖💖🙏🙏💖💖
I bought mine at Rhinebeck in 2019. I first saw them in. 2017 and kicked myself for not buying one. But in 2019 my liver came home with me. I made coasters, seat cushions.
A fascinating little tool! It seems "obscure" in a time of machination. How did you find this to even use it and do a tutorial? I would buy it just as a wooden tiny treasure. 🥰
In an age of machines, the life of an artisan and crafter is indeed obscure at times. I create because I love to learn new things and put that knowledge to practical use. And one day, if the machines should fail us, there will be some that can carry on with the traditions of old. It's kind of a romanticized notion, but it's what I have to go on.
@@FiberSpider What a beautiful way to put it! I'm glad you are the way you are, with your inquisitiveness and creativity, and all the work you do to share that with us! Thank you!
I played with a French knitter with this idea and you just feed the new yarn in as you make the cord. Then of course it’s using your blanket making directions.
I have 2 lucets made for me by a friend, one with a handle and one without. I am thinking of making cords for may skirts and leggings that the elastic waist band has given out on, which would of course make them drawstring waist bands.
I haven't heard of using a cord as a foundation chain but sounds like a neat idea. Give it a whirl and see what happens. Just make sure that the cord isn't twisted.
@@FiberSpider Exactly.. I see that this cordage that is produced has a bump side, so that would be likely where I'd start putting in the foundation row.
Ah, so THAT'S what it is. I've been told variously it's a pompom maker or a tassel make but I knew in my heart it wasn't but not what it WAS... AND if you don't know what it's called you can't search for it
@jenniferwilhelm9699 my old phone could do that but when it broke I had to buy a new, but older Model, Nokia 14. Doesn't support a lot of my favourite Apps.... And though I have Chrome on it whenever I try image search through chrome it tries to redirect me to App.... Not to worry.. Thank you for mentioning it..💕. It's a great thing. A few summers ago I identified a lot of wild flowers with it
My sister saw someone crochet using just her fingers she said her grandmother was too poor to buy a hook so she learned with her fingers and taught her daughter, who taught the woman my sister saw ànd she only does a "1 of a kind " item - be it a blanket or tapestry she will not make s duplicate of anything

Great idea!
@@nanceewenning1727 I agree.
@@thisisme64T I agree.
Thank you for the kind words about our lucets. We always appreciate seeing someone using them. Your work is lovely. -Tanya at T.F. Woodcraft
And thank you for producing such a well crafted product. I left a review and link to this video so that people may see it in action.
I'm a Viking re emactpr & have been Luceting for 11 years now. I love it.
Thank you for sharing, it’s the first time I see a lucet. I would make a rug.
You are such a great teacher/instructor. You go slow and your words are clear. I always enjoy your tutorials.
Really appreciate your slow pace at teaching us about this tool!!
Очень интересный и необычный способ вязания шнура.спасибо за ваше видео!🤗😊😊😊

My husband carved some wooden lucets for me using a lucet from a friend as a pattern. LoL! I then taught her how to make the cords! So much fun!
I've had a lucet for years and used it once and didn't like my cord. Thanks for this great video. Going to dig out my lucet now. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I made one from an old fork by bending the center tines down with pliers. Sanded the roughness off and buffed it and it works well. I made one with a flat wooden spatula by cutting out the center and drilling a hole in the spot where the hole goes. Sanded it and put a clear coat on it. It works nicely also.
My grandson made a lucet for me on a 3D printer, but i had no idea how to use it. I just haven't looked into it. Thank you for the tutorial.

Just start a braid (thankyou great tutorial) and it looks like it could make a great floor rug, sewn together.

Getting ready for the super cold windchills. Will be using a lot of yarn this week. That tool looks neat.

🎉 it's to make the cord thicker
Looks good for making yarn for crochet baskets
I-cord blanket is a must-have!!!
❤ Going to carve my own lucet pass it down to granddaughter ❤
💡 wrap ends tight with scotch tape😉
Hi Craig this was such an interesting tutorial thankyou 😊 Kaye
Cool - have never seen a lucet tutorial. I usually just knit or crochet I-cord. But this is cool.

Great. I ordered one. Now I have another hobby/skill😂😂😂
Thanks, I’ve never seen one or heard of one before. Very interesting
Nice tutorial! My lucet is on its way. Cant wait!
I would 100% use that as a slingshot 😂🤣
I love my lucky. I got a set with 4 sizes. I use 3 braided together for a purse handle
I make cordage with my lucet for historical reenacting. It's fun and a great take-along craft!

In Deutschland nennt man es "Strickliesel"😊
Such a good idea! I am going to try this!

TY. This is lovely. I want to make my own.
Enjoy your tutoring thankyou for sharing. 🌟
The ends of the shoelace is called an aglet. Thank you Phineas & Ferb. They did a whole episode on it. 😅
Its fascinating how people come up with ideas on making tools in the ancient times. Your tension is really neat.
How fun, the cord would make a beautiful bowl.
Aglets are the things on the ends of shoelaces :)
I bought mine at Rhinebeck in 2019. I first saw them in. 2017 and kicked myself for not buying one. But in 2019 my liver came home with me. I made coasters, seat cushions.
I snapped the middle tines off of a plastic fork and started following along.
That's pretty cool
This is fascinating. I've never heard of a lucet before.
How would you change color?
I just buy clear shrink tubing to use as the ends for shoelaces. I do not have a heat gun. I just light a candle or use a lighter.

Would you have any ideas to join Lucet cords made with super bulky yarn to make a blanket?
I played with a French knitter with this idea and you just feed the new yarn in as you make the cord. Then of course it’s using your blanket making directions.
I wonder if making a pet bed with the cordage would hold up better...
The ends of shoelaces are called aglets - you were close.
Do you know what the little hole is for?
I have 2 lucets made for me by a friend, one with a handle and one without. I am thinking of making cords for may skirts and leggings that the elastic waist band has given out on, which would of course make them drawstring waist bands.
It's a bit like having a dolly bobbin with just 2 pins instead of 4
I've seen people use cut plastic straws over the ends of their old shoelace and melted with a lighter to make the aglets..
Tutorial starts 05:09 x
I think the hole in the middle is to hold the needle if using one.
Si colocas el inicio de la cuerda en el hoyo del lucet automáticamente queda centrado el cordel,para eso es el hoyo
I could use a two prong tuner that the prongs flute outward right? And then I can use this braid for a foundation row for a crochet blanket?
I haven't heard of using a cord as a foundation chain but sounds like a neat idea. Give it a whirl and see what happens. Just make sure that the cord isn't twisted.
@@FiberSpider Exactly.. I see that this cordage that is produced has a bump side, so that would be likely where I'd start putting in the foundation row.

Aglets.... Like narrow plastic tube that shrinks to fit in boiling water. I could never get my cords into it🙄

I think their called aglets
