Pendleton Blankets

Pendleton Woolen Mills

Long before there were white men in America, there were blankets. Some were stiched together from fox or wolf pelts. Some were woven or twisted from thin strips of cedar bark fiber, bird beaver or rabbit skins. Some were loomed from wild cotton and colored with native dyes.

Then from Europe, came wool and still more colors for the native artists’ expressions. And later came men from Pendleton Woolen Mills, who studied the beliefs and legends behind the Indian designs, striving to capture their true spirit in blankets produced with modern machinery. The work of those men resulted in the first Indian-inspired Pendleton robes and shawls.

Today, that tradition of complimentary creation lives on in Pendleton Indian Robes and Shawls, still woven from the finest fleece wool, meant to be used and cherished from generation to generation.
