Pendleton is introducing a three-tier adult bed blanket program. For years, this producer was known for its jacquard woven Native American motifs distributed on reservations, through its own Pendleton retail outlets and specialty and outdoor shops. Now taking aim at a larger marketplace, Pendleton launches three new adult bed blankets in three different weights. At the top of the line is Heirloom, a heavyweight, flat-finish wool blanket with an ultra-soft finish, in white only. It targets retail price points ranging form $124 to $164. Frontier is a multi-stripe mid-weight wool with whipstitched edges. And Cambridge is a lightweight woven twill tartan plaid. Expanding the ongoing National Parks collection, the Cabin in the Park virgin wool bedroom collection includes Glacier Park, a white blanket with bold stripe and Park pillow shams in red, white, or dark green. Also available is an embroidered pillow with a fly-fishing motif.
