Pendleton Woolen Mills.
Pendleton Woolen Mills is proud of a longstanding tradition
that began with the production of beautiful wool blankets nearly a century
ago. Inspired by the vivid colors and intricate designs of local and southwest
Native American tribes, these blankets quickly became prized for ceremonial
use, and as a standard of value and quality that continues to this day.
Their exceptional quality, excellent value and lasting beauty were also
highly regarded by the settlers of the area. As their popularity spread
accross the country, Pendleton blankets became one of the first fashion
statements of the 20th century.
Pendleton continues to capture the timeless beauty and
rich folklore inspired by authentic Native American designs for all to
enjoy. Many of the blankets are still made in the original mill in Pendleton,
Oregon. Today, however, the Pendleton tradition of quality and excellence
is enhanced with the use of computer-aided design, high-speed looms and
environmentally friendly manufacturing that makes production of these
heirloom quality blankets even better and faster. In the spirit of the
respect and friendship borne from this tradition, Pendleton salutes the
inspiration behind it all - the Native American Indians. Go in Peace.
