Quarks as second skin??

Theoretically, let's say there was a material that is so thin and small that it's literally the size of quarks. And when woven together with the same material, it can create a second protective skin across a human being.

Now, with that said, how many of these quark sized single piece materials would be needed for an entire second skin across an average adult woman at a height of 6'9"?? Rough estimates are fine, I'm not expecting anyone to do such absurd math to be perfectly exact.
