Teacup cosie mk2

So, I fixed the mouthful of wool problem with the teacup cosie, by using much smaller yarn, of course! I decided to use cotton, and found some recycled cotton yarn from Red Heart yarns (http://www.redheart.com/Default.aspx?tabid=75&yarnid=e749) avaliable from spotlight. It is made from recycled cotton t-shirts with a bit of acrylic blended in, so it is better environmentally than cotton, but does the fact that it is shipped from the US undo all the good? Hmmmn.....Anyone know of any recycled yarn being produced locally?

Anyway, the cosies turned out well, and have been happily sipping my tea whilst protecting my delicate princess hands!
