Instagram: @earthtricks Followers: 11.1k followers Etsy: EarthTricks Sales: 11.8k sales

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 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 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 ARE ... a fan of radical selfexpression. Lydia certainly is, and calls her clothing “a vibrant expression of my own creativity”. #BurningMan10philosophy 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 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
