Overture-Cant get Cotton String

[VampLena]

hey all, I want to say first this little gem is great! I got all 3 games, and preordered Amnesia after just 5 minutes in overture, its so good.

But im having a problem, im in the workshop area and i found the box of cotton string but for some reason i cant get it, i know i need it to mix with the gunpowder but, it wont get in my inventory. Any ideas? I checked and its not in there already, the lid for the box is in the way i think.

Thanks for any help
