I was reading a Rav forum and came across a post from Rosie about Lucet braid.
I'd never heard of this before. I found one on ebay The technique is easy to learn. The braid works up quickly. I make ties for my longies and I prefer an icord as it looks nice and neat, the lucet makes a similar cord much quicker.

Thank you for the links Egater :D Amazing workmanship in those costumes, they must of taken months to make.
After knitting some I-cord for ties on a top I'd knitted for one of my daughters, I discovered it was something I wasn't fond of doing.
Glad you found the You Tube video link handy.
Great example! I just got a lucet at last weekend's Celtic Festival and am getting the hang of it and now trying to decide what to make cord for. Replacing I-cord will be a good choice!
