I don't know, but at least it would be available in wide widths.

I have gotten some 1/8" black nylon mesh fabric, but it;s holes are larger than 1/8" hardware cloth. Next time I'm in a fabric store I'll look for a finer mesh. I can always use 1/4" hardware cloth to support the flimsy fabric.

If you're out west in Washington, I bet you could find a rock shop that has sieves for gold panning. I got a sieve smaller than 1/8" hardware cloth that I use to wash sand. If you get official Tyler sieves for aggregate gradation, they're pretty expensive, but the gold panning ones I found were affordable. I found some on ebay, and I'm sure Amazon has them too, but I'm getting pretty sick of Amazon lately.
