Koi Fish
A graceful koi drifts through the water, its body curving in a smooth, flowing arc as though it’s gliding between sunlit ripples. Its scales shimmer softly, each one catching hints of peach, white, and deep inky black, creating that classic patchwork pattern koi are loved for. The colours feel painted rather than patterned — organic, drifting, almost petal‑like.
Its long fins trail behind like delicate silk streamers, tapering into soft, feathery edges that give the whole fish a sense of calm, effortless motion. The tail fans out in a gentle sweep, adding balance and elegance to the pose. Two small whiskers frame its rounded snout, giving it that serene, wise expression koi always seem to carry.
The overall feeling is peaceful and meditative — a quiet underwater moment full of soft movement and natural beauty, perfect for a Stitch & Paint motif that invites slow, mindful stitching.Size: 16" x 15" (41cm x 39cm)

Koi fish Kit
- Check the paint type – If you used fabric paint, it should be washable. If it's acrylic or another type, it may require extra care.
- Spot test – Dab a small, hidden area with water and mild soap to ensure the paint doesn’t bleed.
- Hand wash gently – Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing directly on the painted areas.
- Rinse thoroughly – Make sure no soap residue remains.
- Air dry – Lay flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
