Instructions
Wind dark colored acrylic yarn lengthwise around a book roughly 100 times. Cut the yarn.
Slip the loops of yarn off the book. Cut a 6-inch length of yarn from the skein and wrap this tightly around the loops 2 inches from one end. Make at least six wraps, then tie the ends in a double knot to secure them.
Cut through the loops of yarn at the opposite end to the tied end so that the result looks similar to a tassel.
Place the spawning mop in a microwaveable bowl and cover with water, then microwave on full power for 2 minutes to sterilize the yarn.
Drop the wet mop into the fish tank and allow it to sink.
