sallykate Apr 2021 7:58pm, 21 Apr 2021 7,779 posts	0 sallykate Couple of questions which you all might be able to help with: 1. Book-themed fabric: I've looked at all my usual online place and not found anything quite right - has anyone happened to see anything? It's tricky to Google it as book, print and fabric tends to turn up things like clothbound books. I did find some digital print which is like old books but my friend would like something more contemporary. 2. I'd like to crochet some "scrubbies" to use as alternatives to cotton wool pads - any suggestions for the best yarn to use? I have Sirdar baby bamboo but not sure how absorbent it is. The only cotton I have is rather hard. Thank you lovely crafters!
