How they make nets

Johannes Peregrinans traveled extensively in the lands of Faery and encountered one place, by the water margin,

where they do not make nets in the usual fashion, though the knitting together of fibers in a loose weave, but rather, through the careful excavation of a whole fabric, wherein is hidden a net, which their efforts reveal.
