If you'd like to design your own artwork or photo layout, we'll be delighted to turn it into a one-of-a-kind heirloom piece!

Design Tips: When laying out your design, consider how the blanket will normally be used and lay out your design accordingly. For example, a blanket / throw that would usually be spread across a couch might benefit from a horizontal design, whereas one for a bed might look better if oriented vertically.
Most blankets we produce for customers are oriented vertically, but don't let that put you off a particular horizontal design that you are keen on.

Note: All design layouts can be oriented either vertically or horizontally.

This is a sample of a vertical design. This is a sample of a horizontal design. (Links open in a new window.)

When creating your own blanket design in your photo editor, use the following design specs to size your image correctly, and please note the 96dpi -
Large: 80” x 60” blanket: 7680 x 5760 pixels at 96dpi
Medium (most popular, typical throw size): 60” x 50” blanket: 5760 X 4800 pixels at 96dpi
Small: 52” x 37” blanket: 4992 X 3552 pixels at 96dpi

If this is all too complicated, just make sure that the image you upload when you place your order, is the largest file size (highest resolution) available. At the minimum it should be at least half a megabyte (500kb) in size, and preferably more than 1MB. Smaller images might result in blurry or pixelated designs when we scale them up to the dimensions required for your blanket.
If someone texted you an image, you can be sure it's too small, as all texted images get automatically reduced in size before being sent. Instead, ask the sender to email you the image at the max resolution/size possible, then use that image for uploading with your order.

Uploaded artwork should be in a JPG, PNG, EPS, SVG, or high-res PDF file format.

Absolutely! If you need a bit of help handling the design aspect of things we're happy to put our skills to use to help bring your vision to life. Our standard design fee is $100 per design, which covers most artwork requirements and includes one revision of your design after you have received it for review. The design cost may be credited back for bulk orders of a single design.

At CustomWovenBlankets.com, all our blankets and throws feature images that are woven into the fabric itself. There is no 'printing' process involved at all. The original digital image is converted into a weaving process which then creates the image within the warp & weft threads of the actual fabric. This process has many advantages, and some limitations. 

The advantages are that the image can never be rubbed or washed off, and the color pigments in the fabric will almost never fade — provided it isn’t left outdoors under bright sun for a few years! The weaving process also produces an image that some customers say has the look and feel of a timeless tapestry. The cotton fibers create the image itself, instead of it being painted or printed onto the fabric, which is how many “photo blankets” are produced.

However, this process is not without its drawbacks. Color matching is limited, because the range of thread colors is limited. Therefore, woven blankets and throws can sometimes be more muted in color than the original image.

As explained above, colors are created from available threads. It isn't possible to have only white threads running in both directions on the loom, so “pure white” in an image renders as slightly off-white in a woven blanket. See some of the closeup images of the White Tiger to see what we mean.


They won’t be a super-duper exact match, no. As explained above, our weavers are limited in the amount of colors they can produce simply because the number of thread colors is limited. However in the vast majority of cases, a close match can be found. We invite you to browse through the different blankets shown on our website, to get an idea of what we can do.

All our blankets are woven with 100% all-natural pure cotton thread.

We offer our cozy throws in three different sizes -
Large: 80” x 60”, which covers a queen-sized bed.
Medium: 60” x 50”, our most popular size for most typical 'throw' applications.
Small: 52” x 37”, more suited for children, or even used as a large pet blanket.
