Custom Blanket Program Overview

Gauge (gg) is the number of needles per inch on the knitting machine. A lower gauge produces a thicker, heavier fabric. We offer two gauges:

All sizes below are for our 7-gauge knit. Our maximum width is 60″. Length can exceed 100″.

Each color in your artwork is knit with its own yarn. The number of colors affects how the blanket feels.

Our color library is updated as new yarns arrive. Please choose your colors from the library so your design can be matched to yarn we have available.

The number of colors available varies by fiber. See Fiber Options below.

Good to know

• Every fiber is machine washable and can be tumble dried on low heat.
• You can combine RC, CC, OC, and EC in one blanket for an additional charge.
• Merino wool cannot be combined with other fibers.

Most Merino wool on the market is 21 microns in diameter with a fiber length of about 50 mm. Ours is finer and longer.

• No itch. Itchiness comes from thick fibers. People with sensitive skin begin to notice it with wool coarser than 21 microns (a higher micron number means a thicker fiber). We use only extra-fine 19.5-micron Merino, so our blankets stay comfortable against the skin.
• Less pilling. Longer fibers hold together better, so the fabric performs better over time.
• Responsibly sourced. Virgin Australian wool, certified mulesing-free, spun in Europe and dyed in Italy.
• Easy care. Superwash treated, so it can be machine washed and tumble dried on low heat.

This quality costs more, but we believe it is the right fiber for a blanket you will use every day.

Egyptian cotton is recognized as one of the finest cottons in the world. Its fibers are much longer than other cottons, and the species is about 30% stronger. Together, length and strength make it the premium choice among cottons. Only about 3% of the world's cotton is Egyptian, and it has a subtle sheen along with its softness.

Average fiber length

Organic cotton is valued as a more sustainable fiber. It is grown without synthetic pesticides and uses less water during farming. Its fibers, however, are naturally shorter than those of conventional cotton (about 1.0″ compared with 1.1″ on average).

• Organic cotton is not long-staple. Because its fibers are short by nature, any brand claim describing organic cotton as "long-staple" is inaccurate and amounts to false advertising.
• Shorter fibers mean lower strength. Yarn spun from shorter fibers has less tenacity, so it is naturally weaker than yarn made from longer fibers.
• Softness comes from how the yarn is spun. A yarn's softness depends largely on its twist and spinning technique. We specify an optimal twist for both the single yarns and the plied yarn in our organic cotton, balancing softness with the durability that home textiles require.

Recycled cotton is our most popular fiber, and we are glad to make it for you. As a responsible manufacturer with 30 years in the fiber and yarn industry, we also want to share an honest view of how recycled textiles work.

• Recycled cotton needs polyester. Post-consumer cotton fibers are short (about 0.5″ on average) and not strong enough to hold together on their own. That is why recycled cotton yarn is blended with polyester.
• Short fibers also limit how the yarn is spun. Because its fibers are short, recycled cotton is spun using the open-end (OE) method, while higher-quality yarns made from longer fibers are spun using the ring-spinning (RS) method. Open-end spinning is faster and less expensive, but it produces a yarn that feels rougher and is weaker. Ring spinning is slower and costs more, but it gives the yarn a noticeably softer hand and greater durability. Of the two, ring-spun yarn is clearly the superior quality.
• Most recycled polyester comes from bottles, not textiles. The majority of recycled polyester is regenerated from PET plastic bottles rather than from used, dyed textiles. Reclaiming textile waste requires an energy-intensive chemical process: the polyester must be broken down (depolymerization), rebuilt (repolymerization), and stripped of its dyes before it meets the quality standards needed to be reused and re-dyed. Industry estimates indicate that less than 1% of recycled polyester comes from used textiles, so the overproduced textiles that end up in landfills are almost never reclaimed.
• Recycled polyester takes plastic out of a better loop. A PET bottle can be recycled back into new bottles again and again, for up to six lifetimes, before it finally goes to a landfill. Once that plastic is diverted and dyed for textiles, it can be recycled only once.
• Sustainability claims can drive overproduction. When products are marketed as highly sustainable, brands tend to produce more. Industry figures suggest that more than 30% of textile production goes unused and ends up in landfills, where polyester can take a century or more to break down.

With this knowledge, we believe the most responsible path is to make better-quality products built for longevity and performance, made locally, on demand, and in short runs.

• Minimum order: 7 units per design.
• Volume discounts: begin at 100 units.

If you would like to see and approve your design before we knit the full order, we can produce a single sample blanket. Samples are priced at twice the per-unit production price.

Our swatches reproduce the feel, weight, and finish of our blankets, including our custom etched brand label. They are available for $10 per fiber, with shipping included.

You can supply your own brand and care labels, or we can make a custom laser-etched label in Alcantara (a soft synthetic suede) for an additional charge.

Our average lead time is 2 weeks for a 7-unit order. The lead time starts once we have received your complete order details and final artwork files.

• Each blanket is packed in its own poly bag.
• Blankets ship 12 units per box.
• Bulk orders ship via UPS, FedEx, or USPS.
• All orders ship FOB from our New York facility. Shipping charges are paid by the customer.

• A 50% deposit is required before production begins.
• The remaining balance is due before your order ships.
• All prices are FOB our New York facility.
