Another Grill Cloth Question
#4

I contacted a company in Wisconcin who manufacture specialty cloth, they emailed me back saying that they would be willing to reproduce cloth to the best of their ability.

"Please send me what samples you might have (I'd return them, of course) as well as any links or information regarding the materials used in these fabrics.
Reproducing a pattern is not that difficult, but often the yarns used were odd blends of natural and synthetic materials that are difficult to duplicate.
I could probably give you some idea of what you'd need in terms of textile terms, etc. and possibly offer to make some for you or refer your request to someone who can.
Our mailing address is The Woolgatherers, 25-A N. Main St., Fond du Lac, WI 54935.
Sara von Tresckow, Fond du Lac, WI
sarav@woolgatherers.com"

I plan to go this route, and I hope the information will help you guys as well.
