100% Cotton Duck Canvas Fabric - Royal Blue - 7 oz - 1/2m, continuous cut

A 7 oz cotton duck canvas from James Thompson, a mill that has been weaving and finishing canvas since 1860. It is sturdy enough for chore coats, tote bags, aprons, pouches and cushion covers, and light enough to sew on a home machine with a heavier needle. Royal Blue is a saturated, true blue that pairs well with the natural and red canvas for colour-blocked projects. Care Hand wash in cold water and wash separately the first time. Use non-chlorine bleach only. Dry flat and use a cool iron. Dry cleaning is also fine. Duck canvas shrinks, so pre-wash before cutting.
