Summon a hot cup of madness with this eldritch little number: the Cthulhu Tea Cosy. Whether you’re steeping Earl Grey or something far more sinister, this otherworldly cosy will keep your brew warm while adding a monstrous flair to your kitchen.

This tentacled beast is worked in worsted weight yarn and sized to fit a standard 6-cup teapot. Clawed feet and writhing tentacles curl protectively around your sacred brew, while its haunting gaze warns guests not to overstep their welcome.
