What you need to know

Keep your tea pot and cup cosy on Christmas morning with Monica Russel's festive snowman design.

It's always an exciting time when you finally bring out your Christmas tableware, and this cute combo is bursting with the joys of the season. The jolly red shade makes a perfect backdrop for the snowman motif and using bobbles for the buttons is a clever way of adding texture. The set is knitted in an alpaca and wool blend yarn, which is a good choice as natural fibres provide the best insulation.
