Joann's Fabrics carry the "L" or 11 depending on what they are called in your neck of the woods. If you don't have a Joann's Fabrics or local yarn store, Amazon carries all the sizes.

As to the napkins, Softscrub will take out the stain. Use a fingernail brush and scrub away. Then soak in a Borax/HOT water bath and then use the chlorox and laundry soap wash routine.

The Softscrub and then a Borax soak is what I used on the kidlets baseball and football uniform pants when they had to have white ones. Got out every stain they tried to get on them!

In doing some very late Spring cleaning-getting my house in order-I found a set of heavy linen napkins-the kind good restaurants use. Because they have been folded and not used and because I used to smoke, they have fold line on them which did not totally vanish even with bleaching. I am thinking of trying to dye these napkins with rit dye. Do you think that will work to cover the lines? Do you think I should go with navy blue dye or a brown or rust colored dye to better hide the line? Any ideas?

Also, not related to the above, but where can I find a #11 crochet hook? I even went to the dreaded WM and still no luck.
