Canvas Fabric

Canvas fabrics are synonymous with quality as the material remains lightweight despite being extraordinarily durable. It’s a robust fabric with great properties making it perfect for outdoor furniture, tents, backpacks and loads of other craft projects. If you need a hard-wearing fabric that withstands regular use, canvas is the one for you!

What Is Canvas Fabric?

Canvas fabrics are largely made out of cotton, often with a synthetic blend thrown into the mix. Many liken it to denim, but the key feature of canvas is the tightly woven plain-weave pattern. Denim has a twill weave, meaning it’s not as thick or durable as canvas fabric.

As far as fabrics go, canvas is durable and versatile materials out there. Originally for sailboats to craft big canvas sails before realising its functionality extended beyond this. Now, you see it across all sorts of crafts – from creating heavy-duty canvas curtains to reusable shopping bags.

Use Art Canvas Fabric For Your New Creations

While canvas fabric is known for its many uses in sewing and crafts, it can also form the perfect base for many artistic creations. Art canvas fabric is dense in structure and adheres to paint and watercolours beautifully. It’s an excellent choice to add more class to your paintings and art canvas fabric can easily be stretched across a frame to become a staple piece on your walls.

Best Features Of Canvas Fabrics

Highly Durable

Canvas is popular for its strength and is a very durable fabric that will last a long time. It stands up to repeated wear and tear with relative ease, making it a great option for outdoor projects.

Waterproof

Natural canvas isn’t 100% waterproof, but blending it with synthetic fibres creates waterproof canvas fabric. Ideal for outdoor furniture coverings, bags, or anything else likely to spend a lot of time in the rain.

Canvas fabric takes well to dye and is available in plenty of colours. We offer printed canvas fabric on our site in yellow, red, green, lilac, khaki and many other colour options. Or, if you order plain canvas, it’s easy to dye at home and turn into the perfect design to suit your needs.

Or, if you’re looking to improve your home decor with DIY designs, one great example is to make new cushions – or just some covers to spruce up your existing cushions. The material also works as one of the best fabrics for curtains, and let’s not forget the many uses of this fabric outside the home!
