12oz Stone Washed Cotton Canvas Fabric / Duck Cloth – Denim Blue
Our 12oz Stone Washed Cotton Canvas Fabric in Denim Blue offers the perfect balance of rugged durability and soft, relaxed comfort. Each yard is tumbled with stones to naturally fade the dye and soften the texture, giving it a beautiful, worn-in denim appearance that feels timeless and lived-in. This heavyweight cotton duck is ideal for slipcovers, upholstery, apparel, bags, and rustic home décor projects where both texture and strength matter.
Denim Blue brings an effortlessly classic aesthetic — rich, versatile, and slightly weathered for a modern vintage appeal. The stone washing process enhances color depth, adds soft tonal variation, and gives the fabric a supple, easy-to-sew hand while maintaining the durability of traditional canvas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes stone washed canvas unique?
Stone washed canvas goes through a special washing process that softens the fibers and fades the color slightly, giving the material a relaxed, vintage look that’s both durable and comfortable.
How does the Denim Blue color compare to traditional denim?
Denim Blue stone washed canvas resembles the tone of weathered denim — not as dark as indigo, but rich and earthy with subtle fading. The effect feels casual, classic, and easy to coordinate with other natural hues.
Is 12oz stone washed canvas suitable for home décor projects?
Yes! Its soft yet sturdy structure makes it perfect for upholstery, slipcovers, draperies, and pillows. The pre-washed texture adds instant charm and comfort to any space.
What type of needle and thread should I use?
We recommend a size 90/14 or 100/16 needle with polyester or cotton/poly thread. A walking foot attachment helps when sewing layered or thick seams.
