Looking for recommendations for a natural fiber fabric for doing tie dye grill covers. Have a local guy that does great tie dyes but believe or not he's never done any grill clothes.

Silk or cotton muslin seems to be the materials of choice. I just put a tie dye grill cover on my cab, it's 100% cotton. It's relatively heavy cloth and I didn't notice any tonal difference with it on or off. So not that it doesn't matter what your cloth is, but unless is ridiculously heavy I don't think it'll make much or any difference.

Good deal, yeah noticed those two listed on the hard truckers website. Wasn't 100% if thickness of the fabric would matter. I have a roland bc60 and a red bear cub mkx50 may even do my bergantino bass cab. I will let everyone know how it turns out.

When I got mine from Courtenay he suggested something lighter than the usual cotton for grill cloths, but what does he know, he only did them for the Dead...

I would agree with above- as long as it's not heavy it should be fine for our purposes.

DIrto for all above. I’ve done cotton, spandex type fabric and speaker cloth with little discernible difference but I’m sure there is a difference under certain circumstances.
