Copy found in tapestry (3)
I believe the answer is:
ape
'copy' is the definition.
(ape can mean to copy or imitate)
'in tapestry' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'APE' is hidden within 'tapestry'.
'found' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Simulate" , "gorilla" , "Large primate" , "Closely follow" , "Imitate like primate" .)
