It seems like Simonis cloth, definitely worsted wool and it is black and the dye comes off on my hands as I play. Hand gets pitch black and it isn't dirt as I brush, vacuum, and wipe down with a damp rag frequently. Any way to stop this?
 
I've never seen any Simonis cloth leave any kind of color on my hands while playing. In fact, I don't think I've seen any cloth do this. Are you sure it is not black chalk powder? Clean the table? Are you sure it is authentic? I see Centennial cloth being advertised as stain resistant also...
 
I think if you buy black cloth for a pool table, you deserve to have it mess up the place LOL

Joking aside, I have never seen Simonis cloth do that in any color. You should contact them.
 
vacuum it well and then use blue chalk and see if it still blackens your hands. if so then its the cloth.

but as said you may have gotten a counterfeit cloth especially if it was a good deal simonis is never on sale
 
From the thread title, the OP is talking about black Brunswick Centennial cloth making his hand black, not Simonis cloth.

I didn't realize that Brunswick had a "Centennial" cloth brand. And it comes in "Ebony":

You're talking about Championship cloth, NOT Simonis.

I thought he was talking about the cloth on a Brunswick Centennial table not the cloth brand itself LOL
 
FWIW, before I recovered my table, I had Brunswick Centennial Green cloth on it and it never turned my hand green.
 
OK, thanks for the replies, even the somewhat nasty ones! I would have never dreamed of black cloth, but it came with the used table and I thought I'd try it since it was in great shape and I was still able to properly install it. As it turns out it looks great with my room decor and the wife likes it too; always a plus. I've been playing pool and recovering tables since 1960, and I've never seen anything like this either. I can't see how it could be chalk dust as I said I have vacuumed it numerous times and brushed it and wiped it down with a damp rag and then again with Woolite solution. Oh well, I will recover it soon with Simonis 860, and it will be BLACK thank you very much !!!!!!

Working on tables since 1960, and didn't know Championship made the Brunswick Centennial cloth?
 
He didn’t say he was working on tables, just recovering them. If someone hasn’t hacked it up before you get there, replacing the cloth is doable, for many. I help a guy who does it. We don’t do it for a living. We don’t make any money. We are slow. We just do it for friends. We follow the number one rule, do no harm. We aren’t as good as someone who is really good, but the final product is very playable.
