The word Miles has written describing mist "as a ? scarf at dawn" certainly looks like "torl". Could she mean toile? French - a sheer linen fabric and US - muslin. Both credible for a scarf ( a "toile" is also a test garment made of calico to see what the final garment will look like). The word doesn't look like tulle - fine netting fabric (However, this is also credible for use as a scarf).
This theory sounds entirely possible. Miles often misspells words.
