The Heritage Collection

Pendleton history, made new again. From our archives we have chosen to re-introduce these enduring designs, sure to be just as cherished today as when we first created them. Dating back as far as 1896, each blanket in the Heritage Collection illustrates the geometric motifs and weaving expertise that quickly became a Pendleton hallmark. All are 64" x 80" and unnapped.

Iroquois Turtle Blanket
We have brought back an early 1900s Pendleton design. Legend says that long ago when the earth was covered with water, the birds saw Skywoman fall from the sky. They placed her on the turtle's back. There she planted a garden and as it grew, Turtle grew in size, finally becoming North America.

Aspen
With colors inspired by the white and gray bark of the Aspen trees against the blue sky, the original blanket dates from the 1920s. Discovered in a private collection this is a stunning example of an Overall pattern.

Geronimo
Geronimo was a legendary Apache medicine man, seer and spiritual leader. This blanket is inspired by an original Pendleton robe he wore in a photography from the early 1900s. As with all Pendleton blankets through 1909, it has rounded corners and an unnapped finish.

Banded Stripe
Inspired by Navajo tradition, Pendleton first produced the Banded Stripe near the end of the 19th century (it was made with rounded corners only from 1896 to 1909). An unnapped finish highlights the pattern's sharp lines and bright colors.

Saguaro
The Saguaro cactus is an icon of the desert Southwest. The design represents desert landscape with mountains, sand, cactus needles and the sun setting over the horizon. Unnapped finish.
ZD458-51111
Tepee
A tribute to the tepee, the strong yet lightweight, easily transportable shelter of nomadic Native American tribes. They served as gathering places for important ceremonies and rituals.
ZD428-51122
Diamond Dance
Diamond Dance is a revival of a pattern from the Pendleton Cayuse collection of the 1920s. Original Cayuse blankets are coveted by collectors, and we are pleased to weave a modern interpretation of this exciting pattern. The dizzying three-dimensional-diamond effect makes it one of the most dynamic designs in our nearly century of blanket-weaving.
