The Warm Springs Tribe was the first account in our newly launched First Nations/Educational Programming, which offers support to Tribes and Educational Institutions. The programming is designed to bolster First Nations communities, schools, and charities and offers fabric at special pricing.
We have recently branched out to also offer support to groups that work with animal welfare as well. We’re excited to give back any way we can!
If you’ve ever visited our store, you’ve seen our wall of blankets; shelves full of our first-quality, USA-made wool blankets. We have one of the best selections of Pendleton blankets anywhere!
House Beautiful magazine has a fantastic series of short films called “Beautiful Things”. We were honored when they contacted us about featuring our blankets. These are the same facilities that produce our beautiful wool fabrics, which are also processed, dyed and woven in our mills.
So enjoy!

In some ways, this is a difficult time to celebrate our planet, since we are all doing our best to observe quarantine protocols and stay indoors. But consider this. Right now, the Internet is full of inspiring shots of clean air, clear water and adventurous wildlife stepping out on city streets. Our planet is getting a well-earned rest for Earth Day.
There are many, many products out there claiming to be “green.” From the sheep to the shelf, Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool® passes strict standards of sustainability and stewardship, verified and certified. This means that if you were to take a Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool® fabric and bury it, it would leave the earth better, not worse, for the addition.
So consider a project with Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool® – You can see it here (after the melton fabrics): Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool®
And Happy Earth Day. We will all remember this one, won’t we?

Here at the Woolen Mill Store, we are passionate about wool and its properties; durability, sustainability, ease of tailoring, and beauty. That’s why we love the Make it With Wool competition. We’re also passionate about the Sewing and Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, Washington that happens each year (shown in time lapse, above). With the displays, booths, classes, and wonderful conversations we have there, we learn as much as we teach.
That’s why we were delighted when a Make It With Wool contestant dropped by our booth to show us the entry she made with wool purchased from our booth last year. She graciously allowed us to share these photos of her creation: a pieced coat with a unique back zipper and beautiful tonal embellishment.
Isn’t this coat a work of art?

We’ve been choosing wool through many civilizations and many centuries. Why? For so many reasons; loft, insulation, durability, color and sustainability–wool lasts a remarkably long time, and when it’s time for it to go, it biodegrades naturally.
