LOL! I just spit my coffee all over the place! Sure wasn't expecting that. :D

Thread nets are used on cone thread. Here's a link to a picture, although the netting is more traditional sold in small pieces:

Thread coming off a cone should be fed up (not from the side). Thread nets prevent thread from pooling down below the spool end and keep the thread feeding up smoothly.

I use thread nets on rolls of wrapping paper also. Mine also stretch to hold the batting/interfacing/what-have-you on bolts from the fabric store too.

There are a many kinds. The only one that might be inexpensive is plain stockinette. We use it for lining casts etc.. There some really nice stuff called Surgifix we used on the burn unit. It is like the netting only instead of being hard plastic it's soft like a cotton/spandex blend.

Actually this dunce here always thought that the mesh covers were used to STORE the thread to keep it from causing loose thread webs all over the place. My face is red!

Still chuckling from the use of condoms.:D
