Description
Canvas 12oz Loomstate (182cm) is a traditional, untreated cotton canvas made using a plain weave. With a medium weight of 12oz (approx. 340gsm) and a width of 182cm, this fabric is supplied in its natural, unprimed state, directly from the loom, without any additional finishes or coatings.
Known for its strength, durability, and breathable qualities, loomstate canvas has been widely used since the early 20th century in everything from artist’s canvas and upholstery to tents, sails, and coverings. While modern waterproof alternatives are often chosen for outdoor applications, natural loomstate canvas remains popular for traditional projects, creative crafts, and rustic design work.
The untreated finish gives it a slightly textured surface, with natural fibre pulls and unbroken husks within the weave, producing a subtle peppered effect. This makes it a perfect choice for neutral interior designs, home décor, and country-style craft projects.
