 FYI: Numbered Ducks (#) vs. Single Fill Ducks(oz)
Numbered and Single Fill duck refers to the type of weave from which a sheet of canvas is constructed. Every piece of woven material is made from alternately overlapping the warp (lengthwise) yarn or thread and the weft (width-wise).

  • Numbered Duck refers to canvas woven using two threads in the weft. This is also referred to as "double-filled" or "plied yarn" canvas. Numbered duck canvas is generally stronger and more tightly woven than Single-Fill, and is identified by a "#" (hash) in front of a number that designates its weight.
    #1 through #12 identify weights ranging from very heavy to very lightweight, respectively. Unfortunately, there is no universal standard, and these weights often vary between manufacturer.
  • Single-Fill Duck is any canvas woven using only one thread in the weft. As a result, single-fill canvas is generally lighter and less hardy. As opposed to the # system of Numbered Duck canvas, single-fill canvas is identified by ounce per square yard or oz (a 36" x 36" piece).
Numbered Duck Fabrics are Double Filled or "Plied Yarn" which creates a tighter weave construction smoother texture than single fill cotton ducks, making them stiffer & more durable fabrics. The tight dense weave make Numbered duck fabrics a suitable outdoor canvas for many applications.
  • #12 (11.5oz) Duck
  • #10 (15oz) Duck
  • #8 (18oz) Duck
  • #6 (21oz) Duck
  • #4 (24oz) Duck
  • #1 (30oz) Duck

  2. Italy: Italy is known for producing fine cotton canvases, often with a medium to fine weave. Italian canvas is prized for its smooth surface and quality construction.
  3. France: French canvas, particularly from the town of Arles, is highly regarded for its quality and texture. French linen canvases are often preferred for their strength and durability.
  4. United States: American canvas, especially cotton duck canvas, is popular among artists for its affordability and quality. Some American manufacturers produce high-quality, professional-grade canvases.
  5. India: Indian cotton canvases are known for their affordability and good quality. They are often used by artists looking for a balance between quality and cost.
  6. China: While China is known for producing a wide range of canvases, the quality can vary. Some Chinese manufacturers produce high-quality canvases that are suitable for professional use.

Ultimately, the best artist canvas depends on the artist's preferences, painting style, and budget. It's essential to consider factors such as weave, weight, texture, and material (linen or cotton) when choosing a canvas for a specific artwork.
