A classic wool throw enhances any room, whether draped over the back of a couch or artfully arranged at the foot of a bed. But heavy wool fabrics can be tricky to look after – and few people have the time to take them to the dry cleaner. Fortunately, Pendleton’s eco-wise washable throws are easy to care for – just stick them in your machine on a cool cycle. The colourfast wool won’t fade, shrink or pill. The neutral plaids match any room too, complementing your décor. But best of all, they’re made to strict standards of sustainability and environmental stewardship, from the sheep to the shelf
The history of Pendleton Woollen Mills is a tale that is woven into the history of modern America. It is a story that began over 150 years ago, with the entrepreneurial spirit of British weaver Thomas Kay.
Kay reopened the historic Pendleton Woollen Mill, which produced trade blankets for the Native American tribes of the Columbia River and the Southwest. Initially, the company emulated the multicolour striped patterns of the famous point blankets produced by the Hudson’s Bay Company. But after designer Joe Rawnsley visited the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni tribes, they pioneered the introduction of stunning Native American-inspired designs, which became coveted and much-prized heirloom pieces.
Today, Pendleton continues to set the standard for American style. With six generations of family ownership, its textiles are infused with authenticity, heritage and craftsmanship – all still proudly designed and woven in the USA.
