Why you should go…

Pendleton Woolen Mills operates its original wool mill in Pendleton, Oregon, where jacquard wool blankets have been woven since the early 1900s. The mill offers free guided tours on weekdays showing the dyeing, spinning, and weaving process, and a mill store on the same grounds sells blankets, apparel, and gifts. Pendleton also runs a second mill with tours in Washougal, Washington.

Good to know

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
