Our 10 oz Organic cotton duck canvas (single-fill) in 58″ width is a premium, eco-friendly choice for décor, upholstery, and creative projects. This undyed and unbleached natural cotton fabric is produced from certified organic cotton, then pre-washed and preshrunk to stabilize sizing — making it ideal for slipcovers, draperies, cushion covers, upholstery, art canvases, and sustainable design builds.
Woven from 100% Certified Organic Cotton, this fabric features a soft-medium hand and smooth plainweave texture that sews easily on home or industrial sewing machines. With a light shrinkage rate of approximately 3 %–5 % thanks to the preshrunk finish, you get more accurate results and fewer surprises in finished sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose organic cotton for slipcovers or upholstery?
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, giving you a more sustainable fabric option. For slipcovers and upholstery, it delivers the same performance as conventional cotton with an authentic natural texture and eco appeal.
What does pre-shrunk mean and why is that important?
“Pre-shrunk” means the fabric has already been washed to remove sizing and reduce future shrinkage. With only ~3–5% shrinkage expected, your finished cushions, drapes, and upholstery pieces will hold their dimensions more reliably.
Can you dye or print on this natural organic canvas?
Absolutely. This undyed canvas provides a clean base for fabric dyes, screen printing, or artistic painting. Always pre-wash first and test your dye/print method for best results.
Is this fabric good for drapery and pillows?
Yes. The 10 oz weight and 58″ width make it perfect for pillows, cushions, chair covers, bed skirts, and drapery panels. The soft-medium hand gives the right blend of structure and drape for home décor applications.
Can this fabric be fire-retardant treated?
While this fabric is not inherently FR, professional fire-retardant finishing can be applied on request to meet codes like NFPA 701 or CPAI-84 — just contact us for treatment options and certification.
Does organic cotton differ from regular cotton canvas in feel or performance?
Not significantly in how you’ll use it — organic cotton offers the same plainweave strength, good sewability and durability. The key difference is in cultivation and certification, giving you an eco-friendly label without compromising on process.
