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

Thank you all for the help

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.
