miffy Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 went to NT house recently, saw and tried using a Lucet to make cord. Really fancy having a go.....homemade pull cords in the bathroom for a start. Anyone else done Lucet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I don't think I've ever heard of a Lucet. I'm going off to google it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Is it not like a big knitting Nancy / bobbin? Have seen this advertised on QVC or Ideal World before now. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 From the description on Wikipedia it sounds like double french knitting. It would be fun to do. What kind of thread are you going to use? I've made necklaces by french knitting using fancy yarn and they are really pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 there is a video on you tube, showing how to do it. There seem to be a number of slightly different shapes and I guess the size of the Lucet is what would govern which threads you could use. I intend to start with using some of my left over wool to practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
