Pendleton Journey West Wool Blanket

Pendleton Journey West Blanket design
The pattern is inspired by geometric shapes and images often seen in early Native American art and trade blankets. The original blanket was discovered recently in a 19th-century European mill and included the designer's notes and calculations. Modern Pendleton designers viewed this historic work of art with reverence and used it as inspiration for the Journey West jacquard design. The pattern underlines the universal appeal of geometric shapes and lines, images not unlike those seen in Native American art and often used in early Pendleton Trade Blankets. The hooked images seen inside the large diamonds are common symbols of luck and prosperity.
