Invisible threads...🧵
The Edinburgh 7 tapestry, designed with artist @ProfCBorland presents more creative challenges to the Dovecot weavers.
The warp is made of transluscent nylon thread to allow for 'holes' to appear in the tapestry and light to shine through.

Looks like the Express has another poll in dire need of help. Twitter, do what you're best at!
(I've linked straight to the 3rd party-hosted poll itself so you don't get bothered by all the Express website ads. Ignore the request for an email address.)
