Does anyone know of a reliable source for ultra-fine tullle fabric? I'm trying to make chain link fences in N scale. My local Jo-Ann Fabrics has tulle, but the mesh is way too big for N scale (it might work for O or HO though). I once had a local craft store that had the perfect size but I never got to buy any there, and they closed down for good a couple years ago. The problem with searching for these things online is that you don't have a good idea of how fine the mesh will be from a photograph.

I just went thru this myself.  It's a pure hit-or-miss, I ended up having to spend the time to root thru the stuff at the local JoAnns like a chimp looking for termites..... I was lucky to find something that might work, but haven't gotten to build anything yet.

If there is a way to order a specific product on line, I would love to know what it is.

Just ordered some of this.  It's impossible to tell from the pics, but will just have to see what it looks like when it arrived.....

Please post an analysis of the scale thread spacing when you get it.
