Grammatical gender
The word "tulle" is masculine. However, in colloquial language it is often mistakenly used in feminine by analogy with the words “moth”, “pain” and others. The analogy with the word “fabric” also contributes to this. Ever since the time of Leskov, “among the people”, tulle was often used in a feminine manner.
