On Tristan da Cunha, where Northern Rockhopper penguins return to the island each year, Islanders have a long tradition of turning local wool into useful and charming handmade pieces.
This novelty penguin tea cosy is made from local island wool by members of the island community. Handcrafted on one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands, it brings together Tristan’s knitting tradition and one of the island’s much-loved visitors — the penguin.
Designed to fit standard teapots, it is a practical addition to your kitchen while adding a cheerful touch of Tristan to teatime. As it is handmade from natural wool, each tea cosy may have slight variations in texture and finish.
Keep your teapot cosy and bring a penguin from Tristan to your next cup of tea.
