I use to live in Pendleton Or, and I'd go to the Mill for work of art blankets, coats, blazers, and…read moremill scraps to craft with. Love the tour, the history! The story of the Pendleton Woolen Mill begins in 1863 in Oregon, when Thomas Kay opened a pioneer woolen mill. In 1909, his grandsons bought a plant in Pendleton, Oregon, and started making bright, famous Indian trade blankets. Today, the family-owned company still crafts high-quality wool clothes and blankets. I shop their website, and oh my my, their clothing are unique works of art, made extremely well, last a long time, very high quality! Their blankets, rugs, pillows, shirts, coats, ECT are beautiful.

Pendleton Woolen Mills. An institution of the Northwest, indeed, the world…read more We make it a point to stop here, and investigate the blanket seconds and clearances. This trip we met the next generation of Pendleton employees. On the floor, young women. In the mill. I do not know. The seconds room and.store had a complex pricing system ranging from 25% off lowest price, two for the price of 1, 20% more off selected seconds at the end of one table, price tags with blue stripes. A young woman helped us out with questions, telling us how she inherited her grandmother's 7 year old Chief Joseph blanket. It is like new. The Bishop family, or some form of it has owned this company since it's founding. 1% of U.S. businesses make it to the fourth generation of family ownership. The Bishops embrace the planet to produce the Pendleton Brand. zFor me that is a hint from one of our nation's most sucessful families. We all need eachother to build a civilization for all. My first shopping trip here was 1981. A queen or king seconds blanket cost $100 or less. We have many Pendleton goods. I called a brother to ask his shirt size. He recited an inventory of the Pendleton products in closets and decorating rooms, gifts from us over a quarter century. He said, "No more." And, being honest, we are pretty much priced out of the beautiful goods we love. My first Pendleton shirt jacket was a $15 Christmas gift from a San Fenando Valley Western clothing store. When Ivsee the same shirt, made in El Salvador from U.S. fabric selling for more than $200, I just cannot pull the trigger and buy. These are topbquality, prized goods that will definitely last a lifetime with proper care. It is all yours next generation.
