Children's reader from 80s/90s

Children's reader that I read in elementary school in the 1980s/90s, but could easily have been published in the 1970s.

There were a lot of stories inside. The ones I can remember include somebody (or an animal?) with long hair, and when you cut the hair, it got longer.

Another story I remember was of a spot that would get larger when washed.

The reader was filled with similar stories.

The hair story sounds like the fairytale about Melisande.
The spot story could be from the fairytale East of the Sun and West of the Moon.
Since these fairytales are so classic, they have been collected together in many different fairytale collections over the years.
You can find them together in the Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang.
