Pendleton Jacquard Crib Baby Blanket – Moon Dance

DESCRIPTION

The Pendleton Crib Blankets are made especially for babies – made from their softest and cuddliest wool, which makes them perfect for a young child. These are a favourite for gifting, and can also be used on a sofa or a smaller bed.

From Pendleton: “The Menominee tell a tale of Brother Sun and Sister Moon. Brother Sun set out on a long hunt and did not return, causing Sister Moon to worry. She searched far and wide for her brother, waxing and waning for twenty days until she, too, disappeared. But Sister Moon always returns. Her search is portrayed by a cloud-obscured moon dancing gently over water.”

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.
