Have you tried using a microfiber yarn like that other person mentioned? That would be kinda cool. I think I'm going to make one next time I get a minute. This is kind of off topic but I found a site that sells replacement batteries for swiffer vacuums. Mine was dying and wouldn't hold a charge so I looked online and found www.sweeperbattery.com. It is still going strong after two years.

If you've got an old fleece shirt or scraps of fleece, just cut squares to sz with an extra inch or two on each end to wrap around & catch the tabs on your Swiffer, wash & reuse.

You want to spread the slack out evenly across the row. Cotton wool is not quite like worsted weight and is a bit of a pain to work with, but after completing the cover you can tug and pull to put the stitches in place...or throw in the washer and everything tightens up. Hope this helps.KansasAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860041177272594310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075801.post-11899040336830383392007-01-03T11:45:00.000-08:002007-01-03T11:45:00.000-08:00I tried this pattern and had a difficult time with...I tried this pattern and had a difficult time with taking up the slack.
