About The Design
I love how these colors work together, as if the Natural color stitches are snowflakes falling in an early spring day, landing on the burgeoning color of the garden.

Colorwork is a great way to up those small leftover bits of yarn, creating a happy tea cozy, that will brighten every pot of tea, no matter the season!

Size: to fit a 2 cup / 4-cup tea pot
