This is the tea cosy I made with Lynn's Super Simple Tea Cosy Pattern Generator. I used Lamb's Pride Nature Spun wool from the Brown Sheep Company. I used simple fair isle ticking for the checker bands and the bottom border and [the rose fair isle pattern from Jessica Tromp's Norwegian Fair Isle website] for the middle band. Working with two strands makes the tea cosy super effecient at holding in heat. This keeps my tea warm for about three hours, seriously.
My teapot is smaller than Lynns, so the cosy looks a little different. Mine holds about six cups of tea, max.
