Expand a bit more:  Fabric made of holes surrounded by thread.

When things are made from something other than thread, they are usually 
referred to as paper lace, wire lace, knitted lace.  Or termed 'lacy' rather 
than 'lace'.  Or they have a separate name, i.e. Hardanger, Drawn work, macrame.

How about:
"A pattern of holes surrounded by thread."
- that at least eliminates the worn out sock!
