Any ideas on where to find spawning mops?

We generally make them. Buy a skein of dork green yarn. Boil or otherwise soak in hot water for a while to make sure the dye doesn't run. I generally don't bother with artificial materials -- the dye is fast.
After the yarn is dry, select a form on which to wind your mop. You can use a book, a piece of plywood, a clipboard or anything else. Wind about 50 wraps around the item and secure at one end by tying all the strands together. Hold the multi-strand loop by the place where it's tied and cut the strands apart directly opposite from the fastening. Attach a float (35mm film cans make good ones) if you want a floating mop. If you want a sinking mop, just drop it in.
