A Brief History of Pendleton
Since the opening of their woolen mill in Pendleton, Oregon, in 1909, Pendleton has grown to be an iconic brand known for their quality and unique American designs. Originally, they created trade blankets, but soon grew to include clothing and later, accessories like hats, scarves and even pillows. Today, the Pendleton Woolen Mill, along with its sister mill in Washougal, Washington, are the last operating woolen mills in the country.
When it comes to window treatments, Pendleton partnered with Sunbrella to create beautiful fabrics designed specifically for Drapery and Roman Shades.
