What is a Lucet?
A lucet is a fiberwork tool usually consisting of two parallel posts joined on one end to form a “U” shape. Some have a single handle at the bottom; some have a hole in the base of the “U.” A few examples of such tools, as well as cording likely made using one, exist in museums. They are associated with Vikings and are purported to have also been used by 17th and 18th century European cultures, but the details surrounding their use remain murky.
The history aside, they are easy to learn to use for modern crafters, and I came up with my own method for making one of these nifty items.
