Pendleton is a historic American textile and lifestyle brand with origins dating back to 1863, when British weaver Thomas Kay brought his wool-weaving expertise to Oregon. Over six generations of family ownership, the company—best known as Pendleton Woolen Mills—has become synonymous with high-quality wool blankets, apparel and home goods, rooted in craftsmanship and distinctive Native-American-inspired patterns such as its iconic jacquard designs.
