I've seen one of the hairnets in question in the National Museum of Ireland while I was studying in Dublin, and it's actually quite delicate and pretty fragmentary. It was rather simpler in pattern than the sprang hairnet in Hald's Ancient Danish Textiles, and actually looked like knotted net rather than sprang itself.
To the OP: florentinescot sent me! You look actually look familiar--have I seen you at textile classes at Pennsic?
