Frequently Asked Questions
Is the “Natural” color unbleached?
No — although the name suggests a raw or undyed look, our Natural Stone Washed Canvas is dyed to achieve its warm, neutral tone. It is not an unbleached or raw canvas, but rather a soft beige shade enhanced through stone washing.
How does the stone washing process affect the fabric?
The fabric is tumbled with stones to soften the fibers and subtly distress the dye, giving it a worn-in, vintage texture. This process also adds dimension and tonal depth, making each yard slightly unique.
Is this fabric good for upholstery or slipcovers?
Yes! The 12oz weight makes it durable enough for sofas, chairs, cushions, and slipcovers, while the stone-washed finish ensures a relaxed, comfortable drape.
Can this canvas be dyed, printed, or painted over?
Yes, although it’s pre-dyed, the soft neutral color makes a great base for screen printing, stenciling, or fabric paint. Artists and decorators often use this tone as a versatile starting point.
Does the color vary between rolls?
Yes, minor tonal variations are expected due to the washing and dyeing process. This adds to the charm and authenticity of the fabric’s vintage aesthetic.
Can it be made flame retardant?
Yes. Custom FR treatments can be applied to meet your fire-safety requirements. Contact Big Duck Canvas for certification options.
