Pendleton

Pendleton is known for its high-quality woolen products, particularly blankets. Founded in 1863 by Thomas Kay in Salem, Oregon, as the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, the company began as a small operation producing woolen fabrics for settlers and pioneers in the Pacific Northwest. The company's products became highly sought after by customers seeking warmth and comfort in cold climates.

Pendleton Woolen Mills has a long history of collaborating with Native American tribes to create traditional designs and motifs. Pendleton honours Native American culture and craftsmanship while providing economic opportunities for indigenous communities.
