check with you local fabric store they may have some material like that

Fish Whisperer is right. I have some in that pattern I got from the fabric store, for that pattern you have to get the one that stretches, not the knitted one. Some shower poof's produce that pattern also.

As mentioned might be shallot packaging. Ive also seen "tubular" plastic webbing used for cherry tomatoes. You can change the "aspect ratio" of the diamond scales by stretching either. If you are foiling, the tubular cherry tomato webbing works well bc it is easy to get the aspect ratio of the scales you want by putting it around cans of different diameters(li ke rattle cans). Then put foil on can over webbing and press to get pattern in foil. Peeling off may take a trial or two to perfect.
