Choosing fabrics for my fish poem project sent me first to my silk stash. This hand-dyed piece is one I've saved for years for the right project, and has bands of color like a koi, but I think it might be too dark (to read the words they'd have to be in white thread or something.)
This is a scarf I thrifted a while back that is gorgeous, and more like the colors of a koi. That said, it's partly transparent and very thin, which would make it challenging to cut and embroider.
This is the strongest possibility -- another length of ice-dyed silk in very pretty colors. I still have one fabric in mind that I'd like to compare, however, so I'm going to keep rummaging through the stash.
