This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay unveiled a knitted art installation at Dumfries House in Ayrshire - it contains colourful knitted squares from all over the world, including Italy, Belgium, Tasmania, the United States and Canada! 🧶

The knitted contributions were requested as part of the @PrincesFound Knitwise initiative, in collaboration with The Joseph Ettedgui Foundation, which aims to showcase knitting as a tool for mental wellbeing and a traditional craftform that uses sustainable materials.

The squares were sewn together to create the patchwork mosaic by staff from @PrincesFound, participants of the charity’s textiles programmes, & prisoners as part of a rehabilitation initiative.

The patchwork will be dismantled into smaller blankets and distributed to charities.
