what is duck fabric
What is duck cloth. Cotton duck (from Dutch: doek, âlinen canvasâ), also simply duck, sometimes duck cloth or duck canvas, commonly called âcanvasâ outside the textile industry, is a heavy, plain woven cotton fabric. There is also linen duck, which is less often used. Duck is used in a wide range of applications, from sneakers to use for artistsâ paintings to tents to sandbags.[1] Duck fabric is woven with two yarns together in the warp and a single yarn in the weft.
