The Design

“Every teapot needs a tweedy cozy!”

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our shop, we stirred together a few of our favorite things: cables, tweed and tea! And just to be a little eXtra clever, we made sure to sneak in 10 (X!) little X-ing cables.  We think every home needs a Brown Betty. And every teapot needs a tweedy cozy!

See how we've used this pattern!
