Prym Knitting Fork For Making Knitted Cords

I'd never heard of knitting forks/lucets until this was recommended. The instructions come with the fork and are illustrated with very clear photos. It works like a cross between a crochet hook and knitting, and is used to make cord. If you use it with tshirt yarn or a chunky yarn, it is dead simple to use and very easy. I was able to start making cord within minutes using both. It does not work as well with fine yarn or anything without any stretch or give. I tried some cotton yarn, and couldn't get that to work well, but maybe that needs practice or the use of an additional crochet hook. There are other knitting tools out there that are better for making cord with fine yarns/string. Like crochet or knitting, the tool requires the use of both hands, and I think it would be easy for a lefthanded person to use as there is ample back and forth between the hands. The motions and steps are very simple, and with the right yarns I think a child (maybe 9 years?) could probably use it, too. I bought it primarily to make my own drawstring cords and for jewellery cords, but I think it will have more use than that. Using the tshirt yarn, it made a nice thick cord that would be good for handles on a bag, for instance.

Arrived on time in just enough packaging. The item is as expected.

I originally only gave this one star, as could not use it. However, I persevered and have found my own way of doing this, which is much easier when you get into a rhythm. I did watch Utube videos whoch didn't help. The trick is to spin it 180 degrees with each stitch, not to pull too tight and wiggle it a bit! It's also easier with thicker wool than thin. I'll try to put a video on of how to use when I have time. So yes, it is a good purchase for making ties and cords, etc. I've also made a bracelet from multi-colour cords plaited together :) My original review, with one star was: Fiddly and not as quick as I imagined. Haven't used it at all, waste of money.

I don’t use it for knitting. I use it to press heavy buttons whilst wearing fake nails. It’s very sturdy and durable!

like it, no complaints would by again

Just a quirky way of something that is a cross between crochet and French knitting. Definitely a talking point if using it in public!

great new craft,easy to use.many thanks

Great craft tool. I bought 2, one for my granddaughter to try. I used it with 'Plarn' plastic bags cut in strips. Made some great plastic cord

This device is easy to use and very smooth. The lucet fork is a great way to make chords for items such as sweatshirts or sweatpants. An easy way to make shoelaces. I can't wait to figure out other applications.

Mi trovo benissimo, con un tutorial su YouTube ho imparato subito a fare cordoncino sia con filati grossi o sottili che con fettuccia, io ci faccio collane e scaldacollo. Il lavoro cresce molto in fretta, è molto semplice anche per i bambini .

Excelente

Meine Tochter kennt es aus dem Kindergarten und findet es total entspannend damit ihre Schnüre zu stricken. Tolles DIY Teil für die kleinsten. Sehr zu empfehlen. Sie liebt es.

Très facile de fabriquer des lacets de couleurs avec cet «outil » d’autant plus qu’il dispose d’une notice d’utilisation très bien faite
