What is Net Fabric?
Net is an open-mesh fabric that has holes. It can be made from silk, nylon, rayon or cotton. The holes in this fabric are formed in many geometric shapes such as square, hexagonal, octagonal, etc.
Types of Net Fabric
1. Tulle
This is the commonest type of net fabric. It is a soft knit fabric with very small holes of hexagonal shape. Tulle netting is usually lightweight. Tulle has a very low unit of weight. This in turn makes it very fine and softer than any other netting fabric.
You can use tulle for bridal veils, Ankara jumpsuits, long gowns and other styles you like.
2. Bobbinet
This net fabric is usually very thin. It is made like a lace but when made with cotton yarn, it becomes a tad heavier. It has hexagonal holes and is also strong regardless of its thinness.
3. Crinoline
This net fabric is made from nylon or polyester. It is used to make fascinators or underskirts with lots of ruffles that give a silhouette of full skirt to the look.
4. Fishnet
This netting is somewhat coarse. It is made of polyester or nylon yarn. It is usually stretchy as a result of the elastane fibers it contains. Furthermore, fishnet is used to make pantyhose, bodysuits, stockings, etc.
