What is Canvas? Origins & Production

Canvas, also known as plain-weave fabric, is a strong and tightly woven textile traditionally made from cotton, and sometimes from linen or hemp. Today, it's commonly used for bags, shoes, tents, sails, artist canvases, and clothing.

Origin

The word "canvas" comes from the Latin “cannabis,” meaning hemp. Originally, canvas was made from hemp fibers, valued for their strength and resistance to tearing. Over time, cotton became the primary material, as it's more comfortable to wear and easier to process.

Canvas has a long history. It was widely used in maritime and military settings because of its durability. Today, it's a popular fabric that combines function with a natural look.

Production

1. Raw material: Organic canvas starts with certified organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides or GMOs. This helps protect soil and water resources.
2. Spinning: Cotton fibers are spun into yarn.
3. Weaving: The yarns are woven in a plain weave, where warp and weft threads cross alternately. It’s the simplest and most durable weave.
4. Finishing: The fabric may be washed, dyed, or treated for extra durability or water resistance.
5. Processing: The finished canvas is sewn into products like shoes or bags.
