Mishnah for Oktzin 2:6

בֵּיצָה מְגֻלְגֶּלֶת, עַד שֶׁיָּגוֹס. וּשְׁלוּקָה, עַד שֶׁיְּרַסֵּס. עֶצֶם שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ מֹחַ, חִבּוּר, עַד שֶׁיְּרַסֵּס. הָרִמּוֹן שֶׁפְּרָדוֹ, חִבּוּר עַד שֶׁיַּקִּישׁ עָלָיו בְּקָנֶה. כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ, שְׁלַל הַכּוֹבְסִין וְהַבֶּגֶד שֶׁהוּא תָפוּר בְּכִלְאַיִם, חִבּוּר, עַד שֶׁיַּתְחִיל לְהַתִּיר:

[The shell of] a cooked egg, [with regard to the egg, is considered to be a connection] until one cracks it. That of a hard-boiled egg [is considered to be a connection] until one mashes it. A bone containing marrow in it is considered to be a connection [between the bone and the marrow] until one mashes it. A pomegranate which was separated is considered to be a connection [between the seeds and the peel] until one knocks it with a stick [to loosen the seeds]. Similarly, the loose stitches of launderers [who would stitch pieces of laundry together to prevent them from getting lost] or a garment that had been stitched together with <i>kilayim</i> [the product of forbidden crossbreeding or working of certain animals with one another, planting together certain plants, or interweaving certain fibers] is regarded as a connection until one begins to undo them.

Mishnah Kilayim

Weaver’s mark’s or launderer’s marks [can be] prohibited because of kilayim. One who sticks one thread [through material], this does not constitute a connection, nor does [the prohibition of] kilayim apply and one who unties [such a connection] on Shabbat is exempt. If one made its two ends come out on the same side [of the material], this constitutes a connection, and it comes under the prohibition of kilayim, and one who unties such a connection on Shabbat is liable. Rabbi Judah said: [the prohibition does not apply] until one has made three stitches. A sack and a basket [one having a strip of woolen material attached to it, and the other a strip of linen] combine to form kilayim.
