The Bristly Thistle showcased this Cashmere/Scotch combination stitch on their blog Needlepoint Tips & Techniques. It’s from one of Jane Zimmerman’s Stitch Books (reviewed here).
I think it could be used in so many places.

I have almost all of Jane Zimmerman’s early stitch reference books and have used them constantly. Have to add her new Stitch Book series to my collection. Jane has a depth of knowledge in a variety of needlework disciplines. Was very fortunate to have her as my first needlepoint teacher decades ago and she set me off on the right track. Still remember cringing when she looked at the back of my needlepoint canvas way back then and reminded us to keep our backs neat and not a mass of loose “spaghetti”… lol
