Widths range from 26″ to 144″ and weights ranging from 12 Oz. to 32 Oz. per sq.yard. The name “duck” was derived from a trademark of a Duck stenciled on a sailcloth imported from England and Scotland in the 1800’s. Also from the Dutch word “Doek” meaning a “heavy cotton cloth”. The Number Ducks are also known as “Double Fill” ducks.
