I remember the stuff, my dad used it, but I haven't seen it in years. Consider befriending your local replacement window contractor. They get thousands of old but still serviceable sash and can be happy to pass them on.

It was made by Harold Warp that founded Pioneer Museum at Minden, NE. It was Warp something.

Now all I am aware of is the shrink wrap stuff that you can get most anywhere.

I have used Plexiglass in barn windows,expensive but serves well,you can cut it on your table saw but you need to be careful.

Warp Plastics as mentioned had the window mesh you speak of.

There is now another one offered, actual aluminum screen encased in stabilized poly. Probably a tad more in cost over the cord mesh, but probably much better.

I've cut plexi with a table saw and a plywood blade. Works well.
