What was the inside covering of the tabernacle made of?

The inside covering of the tabernacle was made of beautiful hand-woven linen. Woven throughout the linen were the colors blue, purple, red, and white, along with cherubim-like creatures—angelic beings—worked directly into the fabric rather than embroidered, so they could be seen from either side.

Les explains that the tabernacle's wood frame was made of acacia wood, covered with gold, representing Christ's humanity and deity. After the frame was set up, the inside was covered with beautiful hand-woven linen. Woven throughout that linen were blue, purple, red, and white, plus cherubim-like angelic beings. They were woven into the fabric, not embroidered, and one commentary suggested they could be seen from either side.
