Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation are attempting to set a world record for the biggest ever hand knitted Tea Cosy and they need your help. We are asking you to knit a 6” width strip, as long as you like of any colour or pattern you like and send it to us here at I Knit London.

The wool can be any colour you like and you make your strip as long as you can manage, all we ask is that it is 6” in width (approx 28 stitches), double knit yarn, and 4mm needles.

The tea cosy was unveiled in Covent Garden on Wednesday 26th November and will be seen again at the Great British tea Party on 5th December...

We'll be posting more about the tea cosy soon, for now you can see our blog post about the day here
