What it is
Care instructions
Shipping & returns
Woven to order in 1 to 3 business days, then 2 to 5 in transit. Usually 3 to 8 business days from order to doorstep. Free shipping within the USA.
Order more than one thing and it may arrive in separate parcels from different print shops, which is normal and not us losing track of your order.
If it arrives damaged, misprinted or is not what you ordered, email info@thepaintedwolves.com within 30 days with a photo. We replace it or refund it in full at our cost, and you do not ship anything back.
Changed your mind or chose the wrong size? You have 30 days. Returned items cannot be resold, so you cover the return shipping and we issue store credit rather than a refund to your card.

The whole story
Somewhere in the Tarantula Nebula, about 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is exactly this cloud of gas and starlight. Now it's on your couch.
Inspired by the real NASA James Webb Space Telescope image, this blanket turns an actual piece of space photography into something you can wrap yourself in on a Tuesday night.
Woven, not printed, from 100% cotton, so the image lives in the fabric itself. Same fringed edges and everyday durability as the rest of our throws.
Choose Your Cosmic Scale:
- 52"x37" — good for a chair, a nap, or draping over one shoulder like you're about to deliver a prophecy.
- 60"x50" — the couch-sized default, no notes.
- 80"x60" — big enough to actually cover two people, which has historically caused arguments about who gets more blanket.
Care Instructions: Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip the bleach, the nebula doesn't need help looking dramatic.
Good for: space nerds, anyone who peaked at the JWST images in 2022 and never got over it, gifts for people who say "the universe is so small" unironically.
Questions people actually ask
How long does it take?
Woven to order in 1 to 3 business days, then 2 to 5 in transit. So 3 to 8 business days all in. We would rather tell you the real number than a hopeful one.
Is it printed or woven?
Woven. The design is made of actual coloured yarn, not ink sitting on top of fabric. It will not crack, peel or fade in the wash.
Can I put a name on it?
On products with a name field, yes. It is woven in, not stuck on. Personalized items are made only for you and cannot be returned for a change of mind or a spelling mistake, so please check your spelling before you order. If we get it wrong, we fix it free.
Do you ship outside the USA?
Not yet. Everything ships within the United States only, and shipping is free.
Will the colours match my screen?
Close, but not exact. Woven blankets use a limited palette of real yarns, so pure white reads as a soft bone and gradients become blocks of colour. The photos show the actual woven product, not the digital file.
How big is big
52" x 37" is a chair, or a very small ghost. 50" x 60" is the reliable couch size. 60" x 80" is big enough to share, if you are into that.
All three hang on a wall perfectly well. We are not here to tell you how to live.
