Hudson’s Bay Company Pendleton Woolen Mills Classic Stripe Blanket

This heirloom-quality wool blanket offers wonderfully toasty warmth. Hudson Bay’s iconic stripe blanket inspired by Pendleton Glacier Park National Park Blanket was one of the first. Its historic markings and colors date back to the frontier trading posts. Traders would indicate the weight of the blanket offered in exchange for furs by holding up one finger for each pound. The original blankets incorporated three, four or five black stripes in the design, which indicated the value of the blanket. Colors and variations of the original striped theme have been adapted to reflect distinguishing characteristics of each park and blanket in the collection.
