    Sludge. What a funny name for a colorway - but hey it grabs your attention. I have a question that is probably dumb, but what it is "shot cotton"?
    I wonder why they didn't call this print millefiori? It looks so much more like thousands of flowers that like sludge!

    A good place to look for fabrics that are older is Etsy. Search under "supplies". You will usually find some sellers who ship for actual costs and not try to make money off your shipping.
