Recommended needles when using a thread:
 Chenille or tapestry 14 or 16, Wool darning needle 14
  • soft, braided threads
  • not mercerized
  • Very versatile in use
  • Uncomplicated processing
  • Due to its special design, it can be laid flat and overlaid without major effort. Used on Kaneva’s #40, it covers the surface very well with just one thread.
  • can be ruched for a special effect by pulling 1 or more of the threads. Ruffles hold better than with Rayon Braided (VTRS/VTR) and do not need to be fixed additionally
  • particularly suitable for making very sturdy and creative cords
    • can be used well for summer jewelry
  • can be processed or crocheted very well with the Lucette
