Description
10oz Cotton Canvas Fabric / Duck Cloth – Natural (Undyed/Unbleached) 58" Width Preshrunk
Our 10oz Natural cotton duck canvas (single-fill) in 58" width is a prewashed and preshrunk version of our popular natural cotton canvas — perfect for pillow makers, slipcover designers, drapery artisans, and home décor professionals. Woven from 100% natural cotton and finished with a light preshrunk wash, this fabric offers a softer hand, smoother drape, and predictable fit for professional-quality results.
Because it’s undyed and unbleached, this fabric retains its authentic off-white tone and raw cotton texture — ideal for painting, dyeing, or natural neutral home aesthetics. Its balanced 10oz weight provides structure without stiffness, making it a go-to choice for cushions, curtains, and upholstery accents. With minimal shrinkage of just 3–5%, it delivers consistent sizing from pattern to finished piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is preshrunk canvas ideal for slipcovers and draperies?
Preshrunk canvas minimizes post-sewing shrinkage, ensuring your slipcovers, pillows, and curtains maintain accurate sizing and fit even after washing.
Is this fabric softer than standard Natural canvas?
Yes. The prewashing process slightly softens the texture, giving it a smoother drape while maintaining durability — perfect for home décor and light upholstery.
Can I still dye or print on this fabric?
Absolutely. Being undyed and unbleached, it readily accepts dyes, paints, and printing inks. Always test for colorfastness and tone before production runs.
Is this suitable for upholstery or cushion projects?
Yes. The 10oz weight provides just the right blend of structure and comfort for slipcovers, pillows, bench seats, and upholstery accents.
Can this be made fire retardant?
Yes. Big Duck Canvas can apply FR treatment to this fabric to meet commercial or hospitality requirements. Contact us for a quote.
How much shrinkage should I expect?
Only about 3–5% shrinkage, since the fabric has already been prewashed and preshrunk — saving time and improving precision.
What’s the difference between preshrunk and unfinished canvas?
Preshrunk canvas has been washed to remove sizing and minimize shrinkage, resulting in a softer feel and consistent dimensions. Unfinished canvas is raw and requires prewashing before use.
