For the Tapestry Weavers

Here is a link to a short video of a recently opened tapestry exhibition in Washington USA.

As well as seeing an overview of the tapestries it is interesting to note the way they are displayed and the 'hands on' looms and yarns.  It is just over 3 minutes long so doesn't show many close-ups of the 40 exhibits but I thought it worth a look.

And here, just to make you envious, is a whizz-bang state-of-the-art free-standing tapestry loom imported from USA by Lesley Longhurst.  Watch this space for results from it.
