My story

I’m Zara, the Christian maker behind Lily Purl!

I’m passionate about knitting and crochet and I love being able to pick up some yarn and turn it into something beautiful! I am also passionate about the environment and do my best to give back by using sustainable materials and practices.

I have always loved craft, and when I learned to knit and crochet in 2016, I haven’t been able to put down the hooks and needles! I came to love design during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is a testament of how beauty can come from hard times. Spending time in lockdown allowed me to focus on my creativity.

My designs are modern, innovative and encourage you to find the beauty in and around you. I am inspired by nature and strive to create size inclusive patterns for everyone to enjoy making and wearing!

My favourite colours are pale pink, mint green and cloudy blue, and when I’m not crafting, you can find me travelling, experimenting in the kitchen, or snuggling up with a cup of tea and a good book!
