Looping to Lucets

So in D.I.Y blog number 3 I am going to show you how to make lucet.

1 Take your lucet in your dominate hand and thread your string into the hole so that the end is on the front. You will be using this to keep your tension.

2. Wrap the thread around the front of the left prong.

3. Wrap thread around back prong to the front.

4. Bring around to left prong wrapping to the back.

5. There is now two strings on the left prong. Take the bottom one and pull it over the top string and prong. Pull the main string to tighten.


6. Wrap thread around right prong and take bottom thread and again pull over top thread and prong. Pull tight but leave enough slack to move the thread.

7. At this point I like to start turning my lucet so that I am working off the right prong. Continue to wrap thread around prong and moving the bottom thread.

8. To finish clip thread. Continue wrapping around as you do pull the thread through the loop closing the loops.

9. Enjoy your new lucet cording.
