Cotton Canvas
Canvas is a strong, plain weave fabric. Made from cotton, other natural fibers or blends, canvas makes a versatile and long wearing slipcover. Below are my favorites.
I like this heavyweight duck cloth (canvas) for simple white slipcovers that get a lot of use and frequent washing. It’s also a good choice when lighter-weight white fabrics are not dense enough to cover dark colored upholstery. Shrinkage: 3″ on a one yard length, 2″ on the width. This duck is offered in many other colors.
White cotton canvas is also available in this medium weight 10 oz. White Duck Cloth.
#12 weight Natural Cotton Duck
A heavy weight, undyed canvas made with 2-ply yarns in the fill (width of fabric). It’s a bit thicker and more durable than regular 12 ounce single-ply natural canvas. I love the casual, relaxed look after washed….wrinkles and all. Shrinkage: 4″ on a one yard length, 2″ on the width. Slipcover made in #12 weight natural canvas: Sharon’s sofa and Karen’s chair
10 oz. Cotton Canvas — Natural, White and Many Colors!
This is an economical canvas that makes a casual slipcover of medium-weight. Offered in natural, white and lots of colors. The hand-feel softens after it’s washed and takes on a relaxed, broken-in look. Expect moderate wrinkle on colors and high wrinkle on natural depending on how you wash/dry it. Shrinkage: 4″ on a one yard length, 2″ on the width. Slipcovers in 10 oz canvas: Sue’s chair
