PLEASE CALL FOR MORE INFO 877-703-7448


PictureWeave throws, pillows, tote bags and wall hangings are jacquard woven works of art. Each is individually woven on a loom utilizing over eight miles of richly colored cotton yarn. A finished throw is 54 inches wide by 70 inches long.

PictureWeave is a product of Pure Country Weavers, located in the mountains of North Carolina. Pure Country Weavers manufacturers the highest quality jacquard woven afghans, wall hangings and pillows in the world. Our craftsman are textile professionals that ply their trade utilizing knowledge handed down to them from their parents. At Pure Country, old world craftsmanship has made it to the new world.

Since 1988, Pure Country Weavers has been family owned and operated. Our weaving roots date back to the time of the American Revolution, when my relatives supplied General George Washington with uniforms and coats at valley forge. We are pure weavers at Pure Country.


You can use any photo you'd like - but remember that the better the photo, the better the finished PictureWeave product. We have   a few suggestions, listed below:
  • SIZE: Any photo will work. We prefer photos larger than 5x7. For digital photographs, please make sure that they were taken by a 1 megapixel or better camera.
  • CONTRAST: A high contrast photo works the best. A black dog on a black couch in a dark room will not yield the best results. Conversely, a white dog in the snow will not work well, either. If your main subject is brightly lit and the background is somewhat dark, the results will be brilliant! Please avoid dark shadows on the face or subject.
  • FOCUS: Make sure your subject is sharp. The better the focus, the better the final piece will be.
  • COLOR: We can use black and white or color.
  • COMPOSITION: Keep it simple. Make sure that your subject occupies 60-80% of the photo. This is not an absolute necessity, but it will make for a better finished piece.
  • Creative cropping of your photo will result in a better composition, and ultimately, a better finished piece. If you would like us to crop your photo to best show the subject matter, please indicate so when you place your order.

  • If you're going to send in the paper order form, fill it out in it's entirety. Please be sure to sign the waiver certifying that you own the exclusive rights to your photograph.

    If you're going to use this website to complete your order,
    click here and fill out the online form. Please make sure to include the certificate number.


    If you're going to send in the paper order form, fill it out in it's entirety and place it with your photo or disk in the provided envelope. Please be sure to leave the cardboard in the envelope in order to help the contents remain safe during transit. Please be sure to sign the waiver certifying that you own the exclusive rights to your photograph.

    If you're going to use this website to complete your order,
    click here and fill out the online form, making sure to include the certificate number from the kit you purchased from the store. Using this system, you can upload your photo directly, crop and rotate it and make sure that the dimensions are correct.



    In about 4 weeks, you'll be receiving your new, 100% cotton heirloom. If you do not receive your PictureWeave product after 4 weeks, please click here to contact us, and we'll track your shipment.

    All PictureWeave products are 100% cotton, and highly durable. The colors won't fade like printed materials, but we do suggest that you machine wash on gentle or hand wash, and tumble dry on low. You can expect a lifetime of beauty and vibrant colors from your PictureWeave heirloom
Choose a photo with good focus and high contrast. A white subject on a white background will not yield the best product, nor will dark on dark. We will do minimal color correction where obviously needed, but it is always best to send a good, crisp photo. We may need to crop your photo to best achieve a proportion of 8x10.

For digital photographs, please make sure that the photo is of reasonably high resolution, as a photo that is too small will result in a muddy, low resolution end product. We suggest a minimum of 1280x960 pixels, or roughly 1 megapixels.

Any photograph taken by a professional photographer cannot be reproduced without written permission from the photographer. We cannot accept photographs of copyrighted materials, such as theme characters and sports mascots.

Please be sure to read our disclaimer and liabilty statement before you complete your order

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Below, we've listed a number of our most frequently asked questions. Also, you'll find helpful hints to make your PortraitWeavers product the best it can be.



Q: What photos can I use?
A: Any photo you like! There are a few guidelines we'd like to offer, though.
  • High contrast - a nice, high contrast photo will always work best. If there is a good deliniation between lights and darks, good detail in the subject and a balance in contrast, your blanket or wall hanging will turn out beautifully.
  • Large Subject Matter - if your subject matter (a person, a pet, a building, etc) takes up the majority of the photo, you will be able to see more detail and the colors will be more vibrant and true-to-life. If the subject is too small, you might consider cropping the photo so that the subject takes up roughly 60-80% of the image.
  • Color - try to choose a photograph with realistic coloring. If the face in the photograph is bright pink, chances are that your PortraitWeave product will not look as realistic as you hope. Try to pick a photo with good skin tones, nice colors and one that is not too faded or old. Remember, while we will do some minor color correction and tone enhancements, what you send is what you will receive. The better and more realistic your photo is, the happier you will be with the finished product.
  • Old Photos - while we can certainly make your PortraitWeavers product from any photo, older photographs are not always the best choice. They can be faded or the color can change over time. For best results, pick the clearest, most color-rich older photograph you have.
  • Focus - please make sure that the photo you send is in focus. We can do minimal sharpening, but a crisp photo will always work best
  • Black & White Photos - we can create your PortraitWeavers product from a black and white photo. No problem!
Q: What about Digital Photography?
A: No problem! You can send your camera files to us directly. We recommend that you use at least a 2 megapixel camera or higher. If you send as a JPEG, please make sure to use minimal compression. If you over-compress, the image will be blurry and pixelated. It is better to send a larger file as opposed to a smaller file. Please follow the above suggestions, as it will help yield the best finished piece.

Q: How many people/pets/buildings can I have in my photo?
A: You can have as many as you'd like, but remember that the smaller the detail, the less likely it is to show up in a woven piece. A blanket with a couple of large faces will yield higher detail in those faces compared to a photo with 10 people in it.

Q: How long will it take?
A: 4-6 weeks. Often, much faster. A lot of that depends on the time of year and the number of orders we have.

Q: Are these products printed?
A: No! These products are jacquard woven, 100% cotton. Never printed.

Q: Will the images and colors fade?
A: No! The images are woven of 100% cotton, so they will never fade - even after repeated washings.

Q: Are these products washable?
A: Absolutely. Our products are machine washable. We recommend cold water and tumble drying on the lowest setting.
