The “lambswool” color is a bit light for the OLAs but it is a good quality fabric with an open weave (18 count) and a nice heft. The 1-2-3 Stitch linen referenced in the AR 3a restoration guide ( page 17) is very nice but a little expensive.It looks nice but I think that, like the regular burlap, it may be too heavy. I bought some rug hooking cloth online: MCG Textiles “Linen Burlap”.OTOH you may like it (and use the coupon) Color is similar to the Zweigart but 32 count is a bit too fine. Also at Michael’s: MCG Textiles Belgium Linen, 32 count.It is not exactly the right color but it is quite attractive and again, use the coupon. Michael’s also has Zweigart “Cashel” Raw linen, 28 count, 18” x 28”.The Charles Craft Irish Linen sold at Michael’s in “Tea” color used to be just about perfect for AR speakers but it has changed-both the color and weave-so you have to look at it and see if it is right for you.If you go to their website and sign up, they will send you a 40% off coupon almost every week. Michael’s craft stores sell a couple of suitable fabrics.Irish Linen looks authentic on vintage speakers and it has good acoustic transparency.When I removed the grilles it sounded much better. Looked fine but it is not acoustically transparent. Years ago I replaced the cloth on my AR 4x’s with brown burlap. ![]()
