This is it – the classic Pendleton camp blanket. Renowned for its warmth and durability, this rugged wool throw is based on the earliest designs that were once used by American outdoorsmen to brave the harsh elements of the Pacific Northwest. Featuring the traditional vertical stripes that instantly mark this out as an authentic Pendleton blanket, this throw comes in a practical size that is ideal for a myriad of uses in the great outdoors, from cosying up in a tent to sitting out under a sky full of stars. Still made in the USA, just as it always has been.
The history of Pendleton Woollen Mills 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. Arriving in Oregon in 1863, Kay forged a successful family business and in 1909 reopened the Pendleton Woollen Mill. The mill had been known for its Native American trade blankets, made for the local tribes of the Columbia River.
The company introduced new designs, colours and patterns, while expanding their market to the Southwest tribes. Designer Joe Rawnsley visited the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni tribes to learn their customs and colour preferences. Pendleton subsequently pioneered 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.
