Coral Reef Fibre Blend

Back to The Knitting Girl's Fibre Gallery

I once went on a sailing tour that included an afternoon of snorkelling around live coral. I was fascinated by the rich and vibrant colours of the different kinds of coral, and by the variety of fish that lived there.

The tour was run by two guys in a sailboat. They were reasonably careful about not interfering with the marine life. They took a limited number of people at a time, and they had rules about leaving the shells, fish, and coral alone. And, of course, they travelled by wind power.

This fibre blend is based on my memories of that day.
