DESCRIPTION

These traditional wool blankets from Pendleton are robe size, making them large enough to be worn, wrapped around oneself for warmth and weather protection. These blankets fit perfectly over a double bed, can be used for wall hangings or just for staying warm on the sofa.

From Pendleton: “This blanket honours Montana’s Glacier National Park, home to 26 named glaciers. In this design, a still lake reflects an ice-topped mountain and the skies above in soft ombré tones, while an eagle soars overhead. Glacier was the first park celebrated with a Pendleton blanket in the early 1900s. Border stripes echo the simple stripe of earlier blankets.”

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS

Pendleton's family history in Oregon dates back to 1863 when Thomas Kay, a young English weaver opened his own mill in Salem, Oregon. In 1909 Thomas's three grandsons, Clarence Morton Bishop, Royal Thomas Bishop, and Robert Chauncey Bishop opened Pendleton Woolen Mills. Six generations later Pendleton Woolen Mills is still run in Oregon by the Bishop family.
