Pendleton Woolen Mills Snapshot
We create quality products that embody craftsmanship, enrich lives and connect generations.
When Thomas Kay left England in 1863, seeking new opportunities in the Oregon Territories, he brought a passion for innovation and exploration. His expertise in weaving led him to establish several mills in Oregon. The company he founded was expanded by his daughter Martha, and it continues today, six generations later. It remains a family-owned and managed business: Pendleton Woolen Mills. Our Northwest mills continue the tradition of quality, innovation and industry.
When the Pendleton Woolen Mill opened in 1909, the United States was home to over a thousand woolen mills. Today, Pendleton owns and runs two of the remaining three woolen mills in our country. Pendleton is the unbroken thread connecting Oregon’s heritage of pioneering vision with the future of vibrant creativity.
