Stretchy mesh fabric

[gg012]

Does anybody know where I can get some of the stretchy mesh fabric that they use on rucksacks for bottle pockets and things? I only want a metre or so for a project but don't really know what it is called which is hampering my search. I have found a lot of the really thin stuff for dressmaking but am struggling to find the thick outdoorsy stuff

This post on the MYOG reddit might give you some specific makes and types to search for. Heavy US bias as regards suppliers, inevitably.

Thanks I will have to keep looking though, another Brexit benefit is that they have a minimum order of €160 before they will sell to the UK

Might also be worth a trip to Sainsburys, as they sell (or did) nylon mesh bags as reusable vegetable bags, last time i was there there were piles of them, i bought quite a few for use as foraging bags and for repurposing in other projects, think they were about 30p each, they are white though

Ah yeah, forgot the HMRC enforcing sellers to collect tax on less than 160. So they just don't.
