Ribbed Tea Cozy Using Manos Alegría Grande
The Design
We designed our Tea Cozy for an LYS Tour several years ago—it’s stuck around as a homey favorite! For this fellow, we chose handsome ribbing—but a pretty ruffle is always fun. This cozy is comfortably snug over a standard, Brown Betty-style, 4-cup teapot.
Brilliant, bouncy Alegría Grande from Manos del Uruguay makes a wonderfully insulating Tea Cozy. A worsted-weight blend of superwash merino and sturdy polyamide, it’s resilient and soft—perfect for keeping your tea nice and steamy! Plus, there are so many whimsical colors to play with.
