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.
Did you know His Royal Highness is Patron of the @campaignforwool, which aims to raise awareness around the benefits of wool as a natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre? 🐑

In Alloway sits the cottage where Scottish poet Robert Burns was born in 1759, now an historic attraction.

The Duke and Duchess take a tour of the cottage.
John Scally from Friends of the National Libraries shows TRH the original Auld Lang Syne manuscript.

The Duke is Patron of @FNL313 - the charity strives to save written and printed heritage and is currently working to save #HonresfieldLibrary manuscripts for the UK.
The collection they are trying to save includes an early volume of poems by Robert Burns in his own hand - containing some of his earliest recorded literary works, and some of the poet’s earliest correspondence, including a letter to his beloved father.

A message from The Duchess of Cornwall:

"This is a hard time for everyone, as we are all asked to stay at home to stay safe. But for some of you it is even harder, because home is not a safe place."
“I can only imagine that being asked to stay there could feel very isolating and frightening for you and your family.

“It may mean spending more time with the person who is harming you."
"If this is your situation, or you are worried about someone else, I want you to know that you are not alone.

“Even if you cannot leave your home, you can call the National Domestic Abuse Helpline or contact one of the domestic violence charities. Please stay safe and get help."
