The Yakima Camp Blanket is the Pendleton most people picture: thick wool with a striped border, woven in Pendleton's Oregon mill, heavy enough for a truck bed and handsome enough for the end of a bed. The twin size, 66 by 84 inches, is the one that works as a throw, a picnic blanket and a spare for guests.
It is the wedding gift from someone who wants to give one thing that lasts, the Christmas present for a husband or dad who has the camping gear and not the blanket, the anniversary gift for a couple, and the retirement present for a cabin. Grandparents receive it and the grandchildren inherit it.
It is 86 percent wool with cotton, dry clean or a careful cold wash, and it softens with years. The price is the price of American wool, and it is the blanket that never gets replaced.
