Default what's this kind of wallcovering called?

Hi, what is the name for the kind of wallcovering that comes in rolls
and is like a stiff net made of fairly strong threads, with squarish
holes between them about 2-3mm wide? I've seen this in Sweden. When
you paint it, it looks like textured wallpaper. It's good for covering
imperfections in the wall. Is it available in Britain?

Thanks!

John

My wife uses Aida cloth for cross-stitchery, sounds like that kind of thing?

Possibly glass fibre. Top quality ones used to be made by Skandinaviska
Jute (but were way beyond my price range so I have no experience of
them).
