Koi dome, 2023

This yarn caught my eye because the orange, black, and white juxtaposed with the blue reminded me of koi. Further investigation revealed pink as well, a color possible but uncommon in the fish. The short, fat stripes of color are reminiscent of vertical architecture, a scene in a warm underwater city where koi swim from building to building doing their shopping and visiting their neighbors. "Dome" refers to a shape of an environment, but also specifically to the word "domicile": this is the home of the koi, and I imagine quite a few of them living in an apartment building together.
