Description
10oz Cotton Canvas Fabric / Duck Cloth – Natural (Undyed/Unbleached) 60" Width
Our 10oz Natural cotton duck canvas (single-fill) in 60" width is one of our most popular and versatile natural cotton fabrics. This wide, undyed, unbleached canvas provides a durable, balanced medium weight perfect for large-format art canvases, slipcovers, wall coverings, upholstery, draperies, and custom décor projects. Its authentic off-white color and unfinished construction make it an ideal choice for dyeing, painting, printing, or gesso-primed artwork.
This fabric is woven from 100% natural cotton with a soft-medium hand and tight plainweave that feeds smoothly through most sewing machines. The extra-wide 60″ format reduces seams for large projects and is a favorite among upholsterers, artists, and designers who need broader coverage. Expect a natural cotton shrinkage rate of approximately 12–15%; always pre-wash before cutting for best results.
Big Duck Canvas offers 10oz cotton duck in multiple widths — including 36″, 48″, 60″, 72″, and 144″ options — making it easy to choose the right size for any project, from craft panels to extra-large stage or gallery installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 60" width unique?
The 60″ width reduces seams and allows for larger, continuous cuts—ideal for oversized art, furniture upholstery, and wide panels. It’s also easier to stretch for large-format painting canvases.
Is this canvas available in other widths?
Yes. Big Duck Canvas offers 10oz Natural cotton duck in multiple widths — 36", 48", 60", 72", and 144" — so you can choose the perfect size for any project.
Can this Natural canvas be used for painting?
Absolutely. It’s a top choice for artists who stretch and gesso their own canvases. The unfinished surface accepts acrylic, oil, and mixed-media applications beautifully.
Can I use this for upholstery or slipcovers?
Yes. The 10oz weight provides excellent coverage and structure while remaining flexible enough for smooth draping on cushions and furniture.
Does Big Duck offer FR-treated cotton canvas?
Yes. We can apply professional FR (fire-retardant) finishing to any cotton duck to meet NFPA 701, CPAI-84, or ASTM standards. Contact us for a quote or certification information.
Can I dye or customize this Natural fabric?
Yes. The unbleached cotton accepts dyes, fabric paints, and print inks easily. Always pre-wash and test small samples for colorfastness and shrinkage.
What’s the difference between canvas and duck cloth?
They’re often used interchangeably, but “duck” refers to a plainweave cotton canvas with a smooth surface and tighter weave, making it stronger and more uniform than standard canvas.
Can I wax or waterproof this canvas?
Yes. Its raw, untreated surface makes it perfect for DIY waxing or applying spray-on water repellents for outdoor or utility use.
Is this fabric preshrunk?
No. This 10oz cotton duck is unfinished and not preshrunk. Wash and dry before cutting to minimize additional shrinkage during use.
