Définition et Signification de "lucet"

What is a "lucet"?

A lucet is a traditional tool used for creating cord or braid, primarily from yarn or thread. It consists of a simple, usually wooden, device with two or more prongs that help guide the yarn or thread as it is worked. To use a lucet, the cord is looped around the prongs in a specific pattern, and the threads are pulled through to create a braided effect. This technique is often used for making decorative cords, such as those used in jewelry, accessories, or historical costume embellishments.
