Nowadays, there is basically one thing that people wear and use in life, which is cloth. Most of the daily necessities are made of cloth. Like towels, quilts, curtains, etc.
cotton:
Generally speaking, cotton is fabric woven from cotton, which means that the composition must be 100% cotton. Secondly, the concept of cotton cloth is very broad. It can be said that any fabric woven from cotton yarn can be called cotton cloth. But to understand it in the scope of daily life, it is generally believed that cotton cloth is woven from single-strand, relatively thin cotton yarn, which has the characteristics of softness, moisture absorption, ventilation, and warmth. Usually, the price of cotton cloth is based on the weight per square meter as the unit of weight. In a few cases, ounces are also used as the unit of weight. There are two different weaving methods for cotton fabrics: plain weave and twill weave. Most quilts and down jackets contain cotton, which is the characteristic of cotton.
canvas:
Canvas is a relatively thick cotton fabric or linen fabric. Most of the yarns of canvas are thicker than ordinary cotton yarns. In the eighth century, the Nordic people used it to make sails and named it "canvas". Of course, the earliest origin should be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire. At present, domestically, because of the relatively few raw materials of hemp, we generally think that cotton is the raw material. Therefore, it can be said that canvas is also a kind of cotton under the big category. There are a lot of canvas shoes now, I believe everyone knows it.
The range of
cotton fabric is relatively wide. Cotton cloth means that the cloth is made of cotton. There are many types, such as plain weave cloth, canvas, wash cloth, yarn-dyed checkered cloth, etc.; canvas, wash cloth refers to the style of the cloth, Semi-bleached cloth can also be a style of cloth, usually made of cotton. When the cloth is dyed into a certain color, it is dyed with semi-bleached cloth. Generally, bleached cloth is not used for dyeing.
Canvas Basically, most of the canvas is cotton-based, which means that it can also be said to be cotton, but we don't think of canvas as cotton in our daily lives. Canvas is a more specific cloth than cotton. But we don't say canvas as cotton cloth in our daily life. Canvas is a more specific cloth than cotton.
The biggest difference between canvas and cotton is that the warp and weft yarns of canvas are composed of two or more strands, while cotton fabrics are mostly single strands. This also leads to the rough appearance of the canvas and the finer cotton cloth. In addition, the canvas is generally woven with plain weave, and twill weave is rarely used, which also brings convenience to the distinction between canvas and cotton.
