So an acoustical consultant asked for clouds made of no. 8 (18 ounce) canvas. Wikipedia says no. 8 is is 11 ounces and no. 1 is 18 ounces, but the weight is for a piece 36" X 22" - go figure. Stage decoration and supply says there no. 8 is 18 ounces per square yard. Rosebrand says 18 ounce is number 10 and don't list a number 8. I called them and they said it was 18 ounces per lineal yard. It's all over the place from different sources.

So. I'll just ask if you are a vendor who buys and use or sells canvas, what would you use and more importantly, what would it weigh per what unit area?
