Heavy Duty 100% Cotton Canvas Fabric | 400gsm | Up to 72″ Extra Wide

Price range: £0.00 through £322.89 Price Including Tax

Tackle your most demanding projects with our premium Heavy Duty Cotton Canvas Fabric. Constructed with a dense, heavy plain weave, this 100% natural cotton fabric is designed to stand up to everyday wear and tear with ease, offering incredible structure and longevity.

Weighing in at a substantial 400 GSM (approx 12oz), this is a genuine heavy-weight canvas. To give you the best value and flexibility for large-scale projects, it is available in three impressive widths: 54 Inch, 60 Inch, and a massive 72 Inch extra-wide option.

Why Choose Our 400gsm Canvas?

  • Extreme Durability: The tightly packed, robust weave makes it highly resistant to ripping and stretching, perfect for heavy-load applications.

  • Highly Absorbent for Artists: Because it is untreated, it readily absorbs paints, gesso, and dyes, making it an exceptional blank canvas for bespoke artwork and custom printing.

  • Oeko-Tex Certified: Independently tested to be free from harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for home use.

  • Natural Finish: The beautiful unbleached, natural colour adds an organic, rustic aesthetic to any project.

Ideal Uses

  • Heavy Upholstery: Excellent for recovering dining chairs, footstools, and creating structured slipcovers.

  • Bag Making: The 400gsm weight is the industry standard for creating durable, freestanding tote bags, duffels, and backpacks.

  • Artist Canvas: Stretch it over wooden frames to create your own custom-sized painting canvases.

  • Home Décor: Create heavy, draft-excluding curtains, floor cushions, and hammocks.

Expert Sewing Tips for Heavy Canvas

  1. Needle Choice: Standard sewing machine needles will snap on 400gsm canvas. You must use a Heavy Duty (Jeans/Denim) Needle size 100/16 or 110/18 to punch through the thick weave.

  2. Thread: Pair your heavy fabric with a heavy-duty polyester or upholstery thread to ensure your seams do not burst under tension.

  3. Pre-Washing: As this is an untreated 100% cotton fabric, it will shrink significantly on its first wash (often up to 10%). If you plan to wash your finished item (like a slipcover), you must pre-wash and dry the fabric before cutting your pattern.
