Cable outer stuck

I'm am in the process of changing my internal gear and brake cables and I've run into a snag. When I removed the old front mech cable it had a see-through plastic sheath around it which I presume stops the cable rattling in the tube. I removed the sheath, put it around the new cable and fed it back down the tube guide in the frame. After having to remove the cable again to correct a slight error, the sheath never came back out with the cable. I've checked both ends and can't see it at all. Has anyone had this issue and if so, how do I go about retrieving the sheath?
Thanks in advance

Steve

    Will it not hoover out?

    Nah I've tried that. Are there guide tubes inside the frame or is it just a hollow frame?

    I know nothing about internal cabling, but it would probably help people to help you if you say what frame you have. Possibly put it in the thread title to attract the attention of owners of the same bike?

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to sort it out with removing the 2 cable guide entrances at the top of the tube
