THE LUCET

The French knitter made an awesome cord, didn’t it?  If you like the french knitter, but you need something faster, that means that the lucet is for you!  What I like about this particular tool is that I can make a lot of cord really fast.  You may not be very fast at first, but you will probably catch on pretty quickly.  Time to get started!

Grab a lucet, a pair of scissors, and some yarn.

3. Slip the loop off the peg and hold it so that your cord doesn’t come undone.
