Pendleton Journey West Blanket for Twin/Full Beds

This USA-made wool blanket, crafted with a dynamic design, pays homage to the pioneering spirit of our founder, Thomas L. Kay, a weaver who journeyed from England to America, and onward to Oregon in 1863. The pattern's inspiration was drawn from a 19th-century European mill, where the designer's notes and calculations were discovered, captivating with its universal appeal of geometric shapes and lines. The hooked patterns within the large diamonds symbolize luck and prosperity, a testament to the generations of weavers who have upheld Thomas Kay's legacy of quality and excellence.

Measuring 64" x 80", this unnapped blanket retains a sharper pattern definition, as the fabric is left uncombed. Its quality is further enhanced by the felt binding and the blend of 82% pure virgin wool and 18% cotton, woven in our American mills. This exceptional piece is a true reflection of the enduring craftsmanship and artistry that has been passed down through the decades.

The story behind this blanket is one of adventure, innovation, and a deep-rooted dedication to the textile arts. Thomas L. Kay's pioneering spirit, which led him from England to the shores of America and ultimately to the state of Oregon, is powerfully captured in the design. His journey and the rich history of the Kay Woolen Mill are woven into the very fabric of this remarkable blanket.

The pattern's geometric shapes and lines, a timeless visual language, resonate with people across cultures and eras. The hooked patterns within the diamonds, symbolic of luck and prosperity, add a touch of enchantment and mystique to this exceptional piece. Each stitch, each thread, is a testament to the generations of skilled weavers who have carried on Thomas Kay's legacy, ensuring that the quality and excellence he championed are reflected in every inch of this blanket.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this USA-made wool blanket is a true work of art, destined to become a cherished heirloom passed down through the ages.
