Pendleton has been weaving wool in Oregon’s Umatilla mill since 1863. Same town, same operation, just a very different world around it. The Yakima Camp Throw is one of their oldest pattern lines, descended from the blankets originally woven for Pacific Northwest shepherds who needed something that could survive a mountain season without falling apart. The vertical stripe design isn’t decorative nostalgia. It’s what the pattern looked like when it was the only blanket a working man owned.
The Yakima runs 54 by 66 inches. Ten inches narrower and fourteen inches shorter than Pendleton’s National Park series. That size difference matters. The National Park blanket is a full bed blanket; the Yakima is what you grab off the seat of the truck when the temperature drops at sundown. Light enough to fold into a saddle bag, big enough to wrap around your shoulders over a camp chair. Virgin wool-cotton construction means it breathes better than pure wool and holds its shape through a season of use. Dry clean only. This isn’t a bunkhouse shop rag; it’s a piece you’re keeping for twenty years.
For a traditional bedroll setup, the Yakima works as the inner blanket layer: roll it inside a heavier wool blanket, wrap both in a waxed canvas tarp, tie it off with a half-inch cotton rope. Total system weight is manageable on horseback and packs to roughly the size of a duffel. The heritage bedroll buyer’s guide has the full build with dimensions and sourcing for each component. The Yakima is the piece that makes the system feel finished.
