Duck Fabrics

When it comes to fabric, ducks (also known as duck canvas or cotton duck) are a great option for projects requiring durability and functionality.

  • Durability: The tight weave and strong yarns make duck fabric highly resistant to wear and tear. It’s a popular choice for workwear and items that need to withstand regular use.
  • Water resistance: While not waterproof, duck canvas can be treated with wax or other coatings to enhance its water resistance. This makes it suitable for applications like tents, awnings, and outdoor gear.
  • Versatility: Duck fabric comes in various weights, from lightweight options for clothing to heavy-duty canvas for bags and upholstery.
  • Breathability: Cotton duck allows air to circulate, making it comfortable to wear in warmer temperatures.
  • Easy care: Duck fabric is generally easy to care for, often requiring just washing and drying.
