The blanket is woven from pure virgin wool that has been treated with Pendleton's proprietary EcoWash process, making it fully machine washable and dryable — solving the single biggest objection to wool blankets without sacrificing any of wool's inherent temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and naturally antimicrobial properties. The weave is dense enough to provide warmth equivalent to a synthetic comforter at a fraction of the weight, and wool's natural resilience means the blanket maintains its loft and drape through hundreds of wash cycles.
Pendleton backs their blankets with a satisfaction guarantee and will repair or replace blankets with manufacturing defects. The construction is straightforward enough that a competent tailor can repair edge binding or patch damage.
At $170 for a queen size, the cost per year over a 30-year lifespan is under $6 — roughly the annual cost of the dryer sheets used to dry it. Pendleton blankets are routinely found in functioning condition at estate sales after 40-plus years of service.
The Eco-Wise blanket is not a purchase — it is a household fixture.
