I believe the answer is:

ton

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

'huge weight' is the definition.
'ton' can be an answer for 'weight' (unit of weight). I'm not sure about the 'huge' bit.

'mosquito nets carrying' is the wordplay.
'carrying' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TON' is hidden within 'mosquito nets'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ton that I've seen before include "Speed" , "100 mph, runs, etc" , "Two thousand, two hundred and forty lbs avoirdupois" , "20 cwt" , "High-speed" .)
