Welcome to our latest product launch with North Drinkware: The Mt. Hood Blanket. Building on the success of their iconic Oregon Pint glass, North Drinkware has created a unique design informed by USGS topography of Mt. Hood. Celebrating the mountain and its natural beauty in a contemporary graphic design, North has partnered with Pendleton Woolen Mills. Pendleton, with their 155 years of expertise, is producing this limited-run intricately woven blanket in their Oregon mill.

The variety of grayscale tones woven into the blanket define the geologic features of the mountain. The lightest shades represent the current glaciers and perennial snow fields, while the darker tones show the glacial deposits and various types of volcanic rock that makes up Oregon’s highest peak. The detailed topographic lines of Mt. Hood are woven into the blanket every 200ft of elevation.

North Drinkware designed our blanket to work with Pendleton’s jacquard weaving process. The wool is sourced from the highest quality sheep and is processed, dyed, and finished from end to end by Pendleton in the Pacific Northwest. 

Using a process called pick and pick, the jacquard weaving loom blends two colors of yarn to achieve the range of colors in the blanket. This process produces the inverse of the design on the back of the blanket.

Individually packaged in a custom North box and wrapped in a card sleeve. A key to the colors and geologic features of the mountain is printed on the back of the card.
