John Muir, widely regarded as the founder of America’s National Parks, once said: ‘Everybody needs beauty... places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike’. Today, there are 62 US National Parks, and Pendleton’s throws celebrate the unique place that they hold in the hearts of the American people. Signature stripes pay tribute to the individual parks, and each luxurious wool blanket is dyed, woven and hand-finished. The fabric is then combed for added thickness and softness. Pendleton also pays a royalty for each blanket sold to help preserve and restore the National Parks. There’s no better way to adorn the foot of your bed, the arm of your couch or your favourite easy chair
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.
