The nylon net product you refer to is called tulle. For a price comparison,
one online outlet sells it for $68 for 50yds of 108-inch wide bolts.

Yes, it's sold in fabric departments. It's the stuff bride's veils are made
out of - you can probably picture it by thinking of it that way. It's full
of holes, in other words.

It will not keep beet leaf miners off chard, for example. But the holes are
small enough that it does keep out cabbage butterflies and moths. If I'm
careful not to tear it, I can use it for a couple of seasons.

Interfacing *is* very similar to row cover: the first time I bought row
cover, I realized the similarity. They're both non-woven. I don't know how
they are put together, but it isn't a process of weaving. But the nylon net
isn't anything like them.
