The Lucet Co

Manufacturer of Lucets, Lucet Book, DVD. Advanced lucetting lucet braid. Find us at: www.thelucet.co.uk

The Lucet has a very long history, all the way back to the Vikings. It survived into the Victorian age but in the last 100/150 years it disappeared from the public domain. It can still be found in historical costumery or needlework tool collections and in reenactment groups. The Lucet Co is about a redesigned lucet for the 21st century and the new invention of the bobbin which comes with it AND th

e craft of advanced lucetting which is all about multi bobbin/thread manipulation to create two and three dimensional lucet braids.

Found a cotton thread in an antique shop, it works up into a very neat cord. The Lucet is 25 years old and features on the front of my DVD. The necklace is made of this cord and lucetted twice with a frogged core. It is finished with a crown lock.
I will probably wear this at the textile show where I might get away with such an outrageous piece! 😁🤪😁

Got towards finishing and stretched the cord…it broke!…should have known better as the cords are only 1mm thick, thank goodness for sleeve beads, I put another on the other side to match ‘et voila’

Sooo….500 yards each of Debbie Bliss silk, lucetted into 45 yards of cord, knotted into 5 yards of crown sinnett, re- knotted into 1 yard of crown sinnett. Please don’t ask WHY! lets just say I had a lot of time on my hands and this will make an excellent display piece and talking point. Now I have to search around for something else to make, Lucet is a daily occurrence for me, it’s what I do, I Lucet therefore I am….after this relaxing interlude I might look to a more advanced braid, the Bavarian Twist was June ! all 7.5 meters of it, So I might go for a giant Magpie.

The green and orange silk braid will have to wait even longer….got started on the black bead and I need 9 meters of green and black silk cord, it’s only 1mm thick so it’s going to take a while

The green and orange silk will have to wait but the ‘gold’ silk is finished, had to ply two strands of real gold thread to make it thick enough to knot with the silk. Very special bead for a very special person for Christmas.

Middle point…. Lucetted 500meters of orange Debbie Bliss silk and then knotted it, lucetted 500 meters of green Debbie Bliss silk halfway through knotting that and also lucetting 9 meters of ‘gold’ thread and will add one strand of Japanese real gold thread hope to finish before Christmas for the big reveal!
