Brief introduction of canvas and its wide application in different fields

The Story of  Canvas

Canvas is an extremely durable plain-woven fabric, typically made out of cotton or linen,although historically it was made from hemp.

It differs from other heavy cotton fabrics, such as denim, in being plain weave rather than twill weave. Canvas comes in two basic types: plain and duck. The threads in duck canvas are more tightly woven than standard canvas. The term duck comes from the Dutch word for cloth, doek, which means cloth, and duck fabric is a heavy-duty cotton fabric. Duck cloth is a type of canvas, and duck and canvas can be used for similar projects, depending on the weight and strength of textile needed. Duck is usually even more sturdy and holds shape better than standard canvas.

Duck also has a classification system, by weight (ounces per square yard) and by a graded number system. Duck is graded on a scale of 1 to 12, with 12 being the lightest fabric and 1 being the heaviest.
