A fine net (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tulle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a fine' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'net' is the second definition.
(tulle is a kind of net)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tulle that I've seen before include "Delicate netted cloth" , "Thin silk network fabric" , "Fine net fabric used for hat trimming, etc." , "Material used for veils" , "Silk net fabric" .)
