Really great idea! Now I have something to do with WAY too many bits of yarn, and it will be so useful!
Thanks!

This is the best solution for hot teapots that I have found on the web! The problem with tea-cosies is mostly that the teapot after that wiggles across the table, wilst now there is no such disadvantage! I am definatly going to try it out tomorrow!
Thanks a lot!
