Where Can I Buy Carpet Canvas to Make Carpets?

Textile Shops

• Textile shops carry a variety of textiles for home decor projects, including rug making. Carpet canvas is located near upholstery and outdoor canvas fabrics and can be purchased by the roll--or by the yard for smaller projects. Basic light and dark shades are offered, as well as some print designs. Textile shops also offer a variety of additional canvas options available by catalog. Each shop will have a catalog to browse through, as well as sample swatches to give you the actual appearance of how the textile looks and feels. Phone or visit your local textile shop to check for product availability.

Flooring Supply Stores

• Flooring supply stores also sell ready-to-install carpeting, as well as carpet canvas used to make carpets by hand. These stores most times sell carpet canvas by the roll. Consider checking out the remnant bin for smaller cuts of carpet canvas if completing a small project such as an area or throw rug. Flooring supply stores also offer catalog ordering with a much larger variety of shopping options.

Carpet-making Supplies

• Carpet-making supplies can be found at most home improvement stores, hardware stores, and textile shops. These items include heavy duty carpet shears, carpet backing, carpet protectants, carpet adhesives, carpet trims, and needles for heavy duty upholstery like carpet canvas.
