IF YOU LIKE... technicolour rainbows! Lydia has made several show-stopping dreamcoats, plus a blanket in the same style for her young toddler. #prismpower
IF YOU WANNA... dress like a real-life fairy. Lydia uses pineapple crochet to create ethereal garments – check out her new ebook, Fairy Queen Crochet. #pretty
IF YOU LOVE... lots of texture. Lydia’s hats and jackets feature bobbles, ripples, surface crochet and fuzzy accents – sometimes all in the same project.
IF YOU NEED ... lightweight layers. In addition to cosy coats and hats, you’ll find lacy, airy aprons, skirts, cardigans and more made from fingering-weight yarn.
IF YOU ARE ... a fan of radical selfexpression. Lydia certainly is, and calls her clothing “a vibrant expression of my own creativity”. #BurningMan10philosophy
IF YOU HAVE... a love of yarn. Lydia is a self-confessed yarn hoarder and, as a “very sensory person”, gets lots of joy out of working with beautiful yarns. #tactile
It’s all over...
