Netting : is one of the key components of fishing in mass quantities. This textile is used because of its sturdy yet flexible origin, which can carry weight yet, still be lightweight and compactable. Fishermen use netting when trawling, because it is sturdy enough to carry large amounts of weight as fish are trapped, pulled, then lifted out of water.

1. Net is also used in medical practices to provide fabric insulation and wrapping under an industry-standard sling. In medical practice, netting provides cushion and protection, when used in layers, but still allows the skin to breathe under the fabric.
2. Depending on what the netting is being used for, a different wax or plastic coating can be applied in order to cover the filaments that use up the yarn. Filaments can be made from synthetic or natural fibres, but that is all up to the manufacturer when deciphering what the future of the textile entails. When netting is going to be exposed to water or heat often, manufacturers consider that and apply what best fits that textile.
3. Net is commonly used in camping tents. Air can easily pass through the holes, which allow breathability that doesn’t trap bacteria, and remain impermeable to pests and insects.
4. Netting is often used for luggage bags to create transparent, breathable compartments that allow people to store items.
