Pendleton 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have driven past this shop\/warehouse many times on my way to and from Pioneer Quilts<\/a>. This was the first time I stopped.<\/p>\n

Pendleton is a wool manufacturer and for a warehouse this building\/location was wonderful. It felt clean, warm and inviting.<\/p>\n

Pendleton: finished goods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The shop is not just a fabric shop, there are finished items for sale as well. I saw wool flannel shirts, throw pillows, blankets, ponchos, jackets, gloves, hats and scarves as well as a number of gift items, such as mugs, plates, trays, and rugs.<\/p>\n

The company supports the National Park Service through a series of products they have been making for many years. They have a similar collection of products that support Native American causes.<\/p>\n

Pendleton: Felting Supplies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There were also different types of craft kits and supplies. The shop had a fantastic selection of wool roving and felting supplies. I thought of getting some roving as I do like it for pincushions, Mega Pinnies and other stuffed projects, but ultimately decided to wait. I know they have it available for a good price, so I can buy it another time. <\/p>\n

There was an amazing quilt on display as well as a video showing the making of it.<\/p>\n

\"Pendleton:<\/a>
Pendleton: company history<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One fun thing highlighted was that Pendleton Dry Goods Mercantile opened in Disneyland\u2019s Frontierland in 1955. There was a video on the history of the company where this tidbit was included. I am not sure the shop is still part of Disneyland, but I sort of remember it from visits as a kid.<\/p>\n

The shop sold wool yardage on rolls. It was wide, too, maybe 55″ wide. I didn’t look closely. The colors were great!  Julie bought an offcut to use in one of the Charlie’s Aunt bag patterns<\/a>. The offcuts were $3 for a certain length or by the piece. I don’t remember, but very affordable and a great option if you don’t like the idea of thrifting for some wool.<\/p>\n

This history video also talked about the Pendletones, a band which later became the Beach Boys!<\/p>\n

I will definitely go back to this shop. I am glad I was able to take a look and could think about what they had to offer.<\/p>\n

If you want to give back to underserved communities, think about selecting a holiday gift from the Chief Joseph or NPS collection.<\/p>\n

Friend Julie already wrote about this shop. Take a look at her post<\/a> to get a different view.<\/p>\n
