Inspired by my oiginal Sherlock teacosy, just simpler! It also combines three of my favourite fabrics - tweed, felted fairisle knitting and boiled pure new wool.

The cosy comprises six panels, two recycled wool, one boiled fairisle and three tweed, featuring a padded complementary tweed panel with 'A VERY BRITISH AFFAIR's' logo name tag.

Each panel has been padded and lined with a pale grey felted shetland wool before being overstitched together leaving a hole for the spout and handle. The knitted woolen rose on top has been finished with a vintage leather button.

The cosy measures roughly 24cm high and each panel is about 13cm at its widest point, so its about 82cm in circumference at the base. It very confortably fits my Denby 2 1/4 pint teapot and will accommodate a much larger pot.

Please stay in touch with any new ideas by following my blog - I would love your feedback!
