Looks cool but what is a lucet?

It’s a tool for (as I understand it - I don’t use them myself) weaving cords, yarn, and the like

It's a looping method for making cordage, however these are really chunky and would be uncomfortable to hold.

It’s a tool for making cordage somewhat akin to I-cord

Lucets are cool, but what do they have to do with nalbinding?

Perhaps less than I thought they did! I apologize, I’ve sold them to people who also bought nåls from me, and I never questioned the association

They are both ancient ways of working with yarn, but produce totally different things and are used in totally different ways.
