White Sands Jacquard Robe Blanket by Pendleton - Pendleton rocks! Shifting dunes of shining white crystal rise from the Tularosa Basin at New Mexico's White Sands National Monument. During the day the dunes shine white against the blue sky. At sunset, the sands glow with the vibrant hues of twilight, while desert flora, yucca, cholla, and rice grass reach toward the last rays of the setting sun. This design is Pendleton's homage to this striking and wild landscape. Fabric is unnapped and left uncombed for sharper pattern definition. Pure virgin wool/cotton, dry clean. Fabric woven in US mills. 80" x 64." (twin size) "An adventurous young man from Yorkshire, England, Thomas Kay, arrived in Oregon in 1863, bringing his exceptional fabric craftsmanship and emphasis for extraordinary quality," says Mort Bishop III, President, Pendleton Woolen Mills and great, great grandson of Thomas Kay. "After establishing a pioneer mill in Brownsville, he opened his namesake mill, the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, in Salem, Oregon, in 1889. His daughter, Fannie, married Salem clothier C.P. Bishop, which has led to six generations preserving the family legacy of weaving fabrics in Oregon." Setting the standard for classic American style, Pendleton is recognized worldwide as a symbol of American heritage, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Pendleton owns and operates two of America's remaining woolen mills, constantly updating them with state-of-the-art looms and eco-friendly technology. Inspired by its heritage, the company designs and produces apparel for men and women, blankets, home decor, and gifts.
