#from halo on mohair... to fluff-in-cotton-casing fluffing up and filling the space after a wash...

So I used to have yarn that was pretty much a thread of linen and a thread of cashmere held together. With linen being white, and cashmere being very nice blue. It was very thin - so thin in fact that I borrowed a winder to wind it into small cakes for convenience
But then I gave this yarn to mum's/family friend who also knits
And tbh I do kinda miss it
But also.. I do have a more manageable metre-age (500 m in 100 g in linen alone Vs 2500 m in 100 g for COMBINED thread) linen in colour that reminds me of milk chocolate
So I could kinda-recreate that yarn!
Just need 100-150 g of thin cashmere, like 1000-1500 m per 100 g. As bright as it can get. Maybe yellow, or orange, or cyan...
I just suddenly got hit with this realisation and I will need it to marinate a little, but so far... I'm liking it!
Not urgent in the slightest though. I have all the other Combined Threads to go through, but.. that'll definitely make me use that linen!!
