Does anyone here know about the weights of canvas?

I'm looking to buy natural cotton canvas sheet to make a 'desert / arid' table cloth. I've found a supplier who does it in a 9 feet wide bolt in two weights: 7.5 oz and 10.5 oz. I don't know how thick that makes them. I'm guessing I should go for the heavy one but, is this too stiff / thick to lay well over hill shapes, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Never used it for a wargaming table, but canvas can be very heavy and stiff. I would check it out in a brick and mortar shop (and buy there)
