Your throw
We weave it
Once you approve, it's woven to order and shipped free. Most arrive 5–10 business days after approval.
Woven texture simulated for illustration. Real yarn colors can differ slightly from your proof.
Drag to weave
From proof to thread.
You approve a clean, original portrait. Then the loom builds it from colored yarns, thread by thread: real texture you can run your fingers over, a woven reverse, and fringe on the ends.

Woven, not printed
Made of thread, not ink.
Most custom pet blankets are printed onto fleece. Ours is jacquard-woven: the picture is built from colored yarns as the throw is made, so it has real texture and a reverse side that shows the weave.
| Printed blanket | Portrait Throw | |
|---|---|---|
| Picture | Ink sits on the surface | Formed by colored yarns |
| Feel | Smooth and flat | Textured, with a woven reverse |
| Edges | Hemmed | Fringed |
| Artwork | Usually your photo as is | An original portrait, made to weave |
Dark fur, light fur
Cats, too. Even the black ones.
Dark fur is the hardest thing to weave well, so we design for the loom: clear shapes, strong contrast and a calm background. A black cat keeps her face, her whiskers and her opinions.
Our promise
See it before we weave it.
Nothing goes to the loom until you've seen your pet's portrait and said yes.
Changes until it's them
Not quite right? Tell us what's off and we'll revise the portrait at no extra cost.

Gifts and keepsakes
For the couch, the gift pile, or a goodbye.
A throw for the dog who already owns the sofa. A gift for the friend with four thousand photos of one cat. And, when it's time, a gentle way to keep them close.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
How does the proof work?
After you order, we create your pet's portrait and email you a proof within 2 business days. Reply to approve it, or tell us what to change. We only start weaving once you've approved it.
What kind of photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo where you can see their eyes and whole head. A normal phone photo is perfect. Skip heavy filters, and if there are several pets in the shot, tell us which one.
When will it arrive?
Your proof arrives within 2 business days of ordering. After you approve it, most throws arrive 5–10 business days later. Those are estimates, not guarantees, and December is busier.
Need it by a date? Add it to your order notes and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it before we start.
Is it really woven?
Yes. It's a jacquard weave: the picture is formed by colored yarns as the throw is made, not printed onto the surface. That's why it has texture, a reverse side that shows the weave, and fringed edges.
Woven pictures are softer than a screen. Very fine details simplify, and colors come from a set of yarns, so they can differ a little from your proof.
How do you make the portrait?
We create each portrait digitally from your photo, simplifying shapes and colors so they weave cleanly. A person checks every proof before it's sent to you, and you can ask for changes.
Can you weave their name?
Yes, if you'd like. Tick the box when you order and we'll add their name under the portrait in our serif lettering, and show it on your proof. Names up to 14 letters weave most clearly.
Can I order for a pet who has passed?
Yes. Send your favorite photo, even an old or imperfect one, and tell us anything you'd like us to get right. We'll take care with it.
Can I put two pets on one throw?
Not yet. Each Portrait Throw features one pet. For two pets, order a throw for each.
Where do you ship?
Free standard shipping to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, DC. We can't ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, APO/FPO addresses or outside the US yet.
What if something goes wrong?
Before you approve your proof, you can cancel for a full refund. Because each throw is made to order, we can't accept change-of-mind returns once it's woven. If it arrives damaged or with a weaving defect, send us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we'll replace it.
Are the photos and videos on this site real?
They're samples we made, featuring our sample pets, to show how the throw looks, feels and lives at home. They aren't customer orders or customer videos. We'll share real ones as soon as our first throws are out in the world.
Who are you?
Tail & Loom is a small, independent studio based in Brisbane, Australia. We create the portraits; your throw is woven and shipped within the US by our production partner.
