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 threads is limited. In the vast majority of cases, a close match can be found.

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

At the moment we are only able to offer our cozy throws in a 60 x 50 inch measurement, which is the most popular size for adults.
