Finger lucet cords were used for lacing a lot in swedish rural costume in the 18th and 19th century. I have it in my folk costume and it all depends on how strong the yarn is. I used a rather weak wool yarn for my first, which didn't last, but the new one in a thicker wool yarn has lasted for years. I was thinking about my had-dyed silk, which should be really strong.
