Unravelled Cockscomb flower?

Took this shot at the farmer's market. Had to desaturate in Lightroom because of the vibrant red color! I think it's a Cockscomb flower that unravelled as it dried out...but not sure. Any ideas?

Beautiful. I thought of some sort of commercial fishing gear (maybe because we were just at the beach). Wonderful.

This is just amazing - your focus is fabulous - could easily be twisted yarn or cording - the color is terrific.

Looks a bit like bright red baler twine at first glance, an amazing flower!
