How to Make Medieval Lucet Cord | How to Use the Lucet Fork | Viking CosTutorial

Lucet is a tool that makes a cord with a single string (a series of loops), which reportedly dates back to the Vikings. It was used regularly up into the 16th century. It makes a series of loop-like knots. It is a favorite to help keep your hands busy at SCA events.

Want a simple project to keep your hands busy that you can put down anytime and come back to later? Then this is for you!

I highly recommend using a rubber band and making a figure-8 over your thread when not working your lucet cord. The rubber band helps to keep the thread in place, so that you may put it anywhere (like a purse) without it being disturbed.

For anyone curious about what exactly the 'SCA' is -- The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international, non-profit educational organization that studies and recreates the medieval and Renaissance years of 600-1600AD.
