Braiding Fork with Wool Yarn

This set contains a lucet and Filges plant dyed 100% wool yarn. A braiding fork or knitting fork, also called lucet, is used for making cords, a technique that probably dates from the Middle Ages and introduced by the Vikings.In contrast to cords that are made with, for example, a braid star, these cords consist of a series of loops that could be considered "knotted". This creates a very sturdy, square cord, which is very elastic and will not fully unravel when a thread snaps. There is no limit to the length, so you can make very long and strong cords.The wood comes from locally owned forestry in Estonia. The yarn is plant-dyed and comes from Germany. Manual included.lucet length: 6.29 inches (16 cm), oiled. wool weight: 1.76 oz. (50g).
