A Special Edition

Pendleton Woolen Mills and Schoolhouse are delighted to unveil a special-edition heirloom-quality wool blanket, Canebrake. A canebrake is a thicket of Arundinaria grasses, including bamboo, which can be harvested and woven when used as cane. Woven cane, woven wool—it all comes together in a beautiful blanket.

The two companies share a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and the Pacific Northwest. Schoolhouse is a Portland-based company founded twenty years ago, in 2003. They specialize in unique lighting solutions and lifestyle home goods. The Schoolhouse Electric & Supply factory is located in a hundred year-old building in Portland, Oregon.

Pendleton is a bit older (founded as Pendleton Woolen Mills in 1909, with Oregon weaving roots that stretch back to 1863). Pendleton is also Northwest-based, with the HQ in Portland and woolen mills in Oregon and Washington. The Canebrake blanket is made start to finish in Pendleton’s Pacific Northwest mills.

Expertly crafted to last a lifetime, this unique blanket features timeless patterns and muted colors with a clean, modern style. The Canebrake blanket is offered in a two palettes:
