A Wooden Lucet and Wool Yarn Kit for Children’s Handwork

This Waldorf lucet knitting fork kit includes a child-sized wooden lucet and plant-dyed wool yarn for making braided cords by hand.

Also known as a knitting fork or braiding fork, the lucet is a traditional handwork tool that helps children create strong, colorful cords through simple looping movements.

The smaller lucet is made from sustainably harvested Estonian birchwood and hand-finished in Germany. Its unfinished wood surface is free from paints and varnishes, giving children a simple natural material to hold while they practice rhythm, coordination, and finger dexterity. Paired with Filges 100% wool yarn in plant-dyed rainbow colorways, this kit offers a beautiful introduction to fiber arts for young makers.

Children can use their finished cords for friendship bracelets, dollhouse rugs, backpack charms, garlands, ties, or small handmade decorations. A lucet is a lovely next step after finger knitting and a practical bridge toward knitting, crochet, and other yarn crafts.

What Is a Lucet?

A lucet, also called a knitting fork or braiding fork, is a traditional cord-making tool used to create strong decorative cords. Children loop yarn around the two prongs and draw the lower loops over the upper loops, building a braided cord one movement at a time. The steady repetition supports focus, sequencing, and early handwork confidence.

 How to Use a Lucet, or Knitting Fork

We frequently refer our customers to a YouTube video we stumbled upon by Vickie Howell, host of several DIY and Knitting Shows, on how to use a lucet. She shows two methods that we like to teach our kids.
