Minor comment on lucets in general. I find the handled ones less easy
to carry around, because they don't fit into a needlework bag as well.
I think the main thing the handle is good for is spinning the lucet
around while working, but I've never missed having one and don't think
it a necessary feature.
Just a remark :)
PS if you're just learning-- be sure not to pull your threads too
tightly! Unless they are perfectly spun, they will cause you grief if
you work too tight (as I do!). It helps to learn how to pull up just
enough, but not too much. This takes a bit of practice with the
desired thread. I've learned from bitter, hand-numbing experience not
to lucet so tightly.
