12oz Stone Washed Cotton Canvas Fabric / Duck Cloth – Harbor Blue
Our 12oz Stone Washed Cotton Canvas Fabric in Harbor Blue delivers the perfect blend of strength, softness, and timeless coastal style. Each yard is pre-washed and tumbled with stones to gently distress the dye, resulting in a relaxed, weathered blue tone reminiscent of ocean horizons and worn denim. The result is a durable yet supple fabric ideal for slipcovers, upholstery, apparel, bags, and home décor projects that call for casual comfort and rugged elegance.
The subtle fading and tonal depth of Harbor Blue make it an effortless choice for both modern and vintage-inspired spaces. Its heavyweight 12oz duck weave offers lasting durability while the stone washing process softens the hand, creating a fabric that’s easy to sew, drape, and love from the very first use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is stone washed canvas?
Stone washed canvas starts as a durable cotton duck fabric that is tumbled with stones to gently soften the fibers and fade the dye. This process produces a vintage, lived-in look with natural tonal depth and a smooth, comfortable hand.
How does the Harbor Blue color look?
Harbor Blue features a balanced, ocean-inspired tone that feels both modern and classic. The stone washing process gives it a distressed, denim-like appearance with subtle shading that enhances its relaxed character.
Is this fabric good for slipcovers and upholstery?
Yes! The pre-washed softness and heavy 12oz weight make it perfect for slipcovers, cushions, and furniture upholstery. It drapes beautifully and holds up to everyday use while maintaining its relaxed, coastal appeal.
What can I make with Harbor Blue canvas?
It’s great for bags, aprons, jackets, and upholstery projects. Many makers use this color for coastal décor, nautical accents, or denim-inspired apparel where texture and tone add sophistication.
Does each roll look identical?
No — due to the stone washing process, each roll has its own character with slightly different dye distressing and shading. These natural variations are part of what makes stone washed canvas so unique.
