Our Story

Lickyboy was founded in Mexico City in 2019 by California native, Ava Ray McLeod. Inspired by the colors and crafts she saw in her neighborhood, Colonia San Rafael, Ava taught herself to crochet watching online tutorials. She later met her friend and crochet teacher, Patricia, at her local market, and the two began working on the first Lickyboy crochet set. Lickyboy has expanded to employ several women in Mexico City.
