With the introduction of various
types of useful fabrics such as filter fabrics, artist canvas, theatre &
event fabrics and many more, textile industry is now becoming one of the booming
industries nowadays. Cotton duck fabric is also one of them which is widely
used in these days. These fabrics are commonly known as cotton duck cloth
which is made up of cotton fibers fully or partially.
If we go back and look for the origin
of the name of cotton duck fabric then, we will find that its name has taken
from a Dutch work “Doek” which means “linen cloth”. Although, linen duck is
used more as artists’ canvas yet, cotton duck fabric is widely used to make
uniforms, shoes and many more.
These fabrics are comparatively less expensive,
long lasting and light in weight if we compare it with others. They are simple
to dye, clean and wash also. Thus, they are widely used to make tents, boat
covers, hammocks etc. These fabrics are also versatile in nature and therefore,
they can be washed and sewed with an ease. Moreover, they do not require much
care and unlike other synthetic fibers they allow air and moisture to pass
through them easily. Therefore, they are more comfortable to use.
Additionally, these fabrics are
commonly used in the manufacturing of various indoors as well as outdoors
products such as shower curtains, tote bags, laundry bags, sand bags etc. They
can also be used to make outerwear and other apparels.
