Is fleece an OK material to cover 703 panels?

[skiltrip]

Is fleece a good material to cover 703 panels with? I have some 2" Knauf board panels that I have covered with burlap, but burlap is ugly as sin, so I'm thinking of getting some other fabric and wrapping that around them.

I'm looking at joann.com Anti Pill Fleece Fabric - MANY COLORS : Fleece Solids : Fleece Fabric : Fabric | Joann.com
, fabrics, to look at what there is to put on it. If fleece is ok, that's great because it's on sale with lots of colors. If not, let me know what would be good. Thanks.

If you can blow through it then it is ok.

I think (not 100% positive on this one) on Ethans site he has a guide for fabric. If it's not there maybe someone else can chime in with it. I have been reading about this quite a bit lately. You want a material that is polyester or rayon something like that. The reason is some materials as they get moisture from humidity may tend to stretch and might not stretch back to the position they were in. Leaving you with basstraps in need of botox.
