About Product
Natural Canvas - 12 oz - #12 Duck | The Lightest Numbered Duck | 100% American-Made
The 12 oz #12 cotton duck (also called #12 canvas or #12 duck) is the lightest member of the legendary numbered-duck family — and the only one proudly woven from 100% U.S.-grown cotton right here in America. Using premium 2-ply yarns in both warp and fill (true double-fill construction), this canvas delivers an ultra-smooth surface with impressive strength and durability that far exceeds ordinary single-fill fabrics of similar weight.
Fully Berry Amendment compliant (DFARS 225.7002) and Buy American Act certified, every single step — from planting the cotton to final weaving — happens on American soil. That makes it the #1 choice for military teepees, government contracts, universities, theaters, and patriotic makers who refuse to compromise on origin.
Why Marsidian 12 oz #12 Duck

- True double-fill 2-ply construction = 20–30 % stronger and noticeably smoother
- Lowest shrinkage in class (5–7 %) for predictable artist canvases and fitted covers
- Takes gesso, dyes, paints, and screen-printing ink flawlessly
- Soft, pliable hand that sews easily on home or walking-foot machines
- Always in stock and ships same/next business day from the USA.
