Whirling colour

Made from cotton washing line, the simplicity of these coasters highlights their design. A zigzag stitch in coloured thread binds the spiral, its sharp lines providing a striking contrast to the off-white curves. Crafted by Steph Bennett in rural Northamptonshire and available in four colours, they bring the brightness of spring to a morning cup. Cotton rope coasters £12 for four, www.designSix5.etsy.com
