Pendleton Woolen Mill Tour, Part II





After a visit at the store, the group is being lead to the mill.
 
The inside of the mill does not allow photo taking, the best we could do is take some photos of the outside building.  



These mill buildings are quite old. 



This is a photo posted on the Pendleton website showing the inside of the mill.   The machines for weaving the fabrics and blankets were huge and very noisy too.

Betty bought three spools of the wool thread for plying.

 


Here is a scarf that is made of Angora wool plied with the Pendleton wool thread.
