Once upon a time, in a life far, far away…. I spent a month travelling around Germany, just me and my bicycle.  Tucked under the German border to Denmark is the tiny island of Sylt.  In between cycling along the beaches, I stopped by a small outdoor market, where I fell in love with a hank of glorious fluffy red-purple variegated handspun yarn.  And now this yarn has finally become a lovely tea cozy to use every morning, a practical memento from a wonderful adventure.
