Wild & wonderful tea cosies
My felt tea cosy
I just had a workshop at No Chintz this morning making tea cosies, which was a hoot. I told the lovely ladies who attended that my inspiration is none other than Tea Cosy Queen Loani Pryor, author of Wild Tea Cosies and Really Wild Tea Cosies, which came out just last week.
These books really are fabulous – what an imagination she has. Would you look at this ‘Coral Punk’ tea cosy by Loani below? Love it. Next week I’m headed to her event at Shearer’s Bookshop on Norton St – Wednesday April 7, 7:30pm. Be sure to book.

What fabulous whimsical ways to dress up a teapot – I love Loani’s marine-inspired flights of fancy. This post has made me think my teapot collection needs a whole new winter wardrobe.
Aw shucks thanks Kelly
And look at those fabbo felt cosies. They look so easy and yet so excellently clever.
Very good cheers
Loani
Hi,
These are so cute and inspired me to go and purchase some felt and pom poms.

Just wanted to know if they had any padding/wadding inside them?
Thanks
Hi Marianne – they don’t, as they’re made of thick pure wool felt
