I never thought I would fall in love with mosquito netting, but there it is.  As you can see from the photo, when packaged, it is an "olive drab" color.  When you open it up fully and hang it, the color disappears and the net is almost invisible.  Wonderful.  It is a very fine, soft netting with a slight sheen.  Don't worry. the sheen disappears.  It drapes beautifully, and last night, when a friend came over the dinner, she noticed the extra netting softly piled in a corner.  "You could wear that!" she said. Wear it?  "It's such a beautiful color, and has such a lovely sheen."  I realized it actually does look like tulle. When I looked up tulle in the dictionary, it defines it as "a thin, fine, machine-made net of acetate, nylon, rayon or silk".  Hmmm....considering it....Oh yes, by the way, it does stop mosquitos.  I found several on the outside of the netting within the first ten minutes of hanging it up.  Don't know what the other reviewer means about it not being fine enough.  It is very fine.
