In 1990, Weavetec expanded their upholstery manufacturing operations and bought their first jacquard loom to weave afghans. During this time, Simply Country was searching for a company that could handle the tremendous demand from both wholesale and retail customers for their products. That year, Weavetec and Simply Country initiated a partnership which would be the basis for expansion of their niche in the afghan industry.

The Weavetec/Simply Country partnership was extremely successful. Simply Country had a manufacturer that could supply them with quality woven products at a competitive price to meet their customer's demands. Because of that demand, Weavetec expanded and, by 1992, had added two new facilities in South Carolina - a second weaving plant and an afghan finishing plant.

In 1993, Weavetec and Simply Country developed the printed throw, which solidified their position as a major competitor in the home textiles industry. To better serve its customer base, Simply Country constructed a new 45,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center in Wytheville, Virginia, in 1994.

By 1995, the afghan industry began to experience a significant slowdown. The competition had grown more vertical and both companies realized their partnership could not remain competitive as two separate profit centers. In October 1995, the original partnership culminated with Weavetec purchasing Simply Country. This new partnership allowed Weavetec to continue to function as a commission weaver, while Simply Country was able to diversify their line, expand their workforce and maintain their standing in the home textiles industry.
