Pendleton Craftsman Collection Blanket Robe – Canyonlands Desert Sky

DESCRIPTION

These traditional wool blankets from Pendleton are robe size, making them large enough to be worn, wrapped around oneself for warmth and weather protection. These blankets fit perfectly over a double bed, can be used for wall hangings or just for cuddling up on the sofa.

From Pendleton: “A dazzling rendition of our Canyonlands pattern, specially crafted and richly coloured to evoke a vintage blanket. One side is napped for softness and warmth; the reverse is unnapped, to showcase the design’s intricate jacquard. Hand-cut rounded corners recall the shape of heirloom blankets from the earliest days of our Oregon mill.”

• Care: Dry clean only
• Size: 64″ x 80″ (163 x 203 cm)

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS

Pendleton’s family history in Oregon dates back to 1863 when Thomas Kay, a young English weaver opened his own mill in Salem, Oregon. In 1909 Thomas’s three grandsons, Clarence Morton Bishop, Royal Thomas Bishop, and Robert Chauncey Bishop opened Pendleton Woolen Mills. Six generations later Pendleton Woolen Mills is still run in Oregon by the Bishop family.
