Jacquard Blanket Robe - Salmon Falls

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 staying warm on the sofa.

From Pendleton: “In a rich, saturated palette inspired by the Pacific Northwest, this blanket depicts a leaping Chinook salmon returning to the stream where he hatched—an arduous journey completed every year by these resilient creatures. Below him, the lifecycle of a salmon unfolds, from eggs to fry to smolt to adult.”

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.
