Pendleton Hike & Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Pendleton Yakima Camp Blanket made of and how is it constructed?

  The Yakima Camp Blanket is woven from a blend of 86% pure virgin wool and 14% cotton and is produced in American mills. Its dense woven construction delivers natural insulation, breathability, and the tactile heft typical of Pendleton wool blankets.
• Is the Yakima Camp Blanket suitable for backpacking or is it better for car camping and indoor use?

  At 4.5 pounds for the Twin and about 6.5 pounds for the Full/Queen (queen packs to roughly 14" x 18"), the Yakima blanket is relatively heavy and bulky for ultralight backpacking. It shines for car camping, cabin trips, picnics, and home use where warmth, durability, and comfort are priorities rather than minimal pack weight.
• How should I care for the Pendleton Yakima Camp Blanket to keep it looking and performing its best?

  Pendleton recommends professional dry cleaning to preserve the wool fiber and pattern; for minor spots, gently blot with cold water and mild soap and let air dry. Store the blanket clean and completely dry to avoid mildew, and expect some initial wool texture and occasional lint transfer that softens with use.
• How does the Yakima Camp Blanket compare to synthetic puffy blankets like the Rumpl Original Puffy?

  Compared with synthetic puffy blankets, the Yakima offers classic wool warmth, durability, and a heavyweight feel, but it absorbs moisture and is not water-resistant. Synthetic puffies (e.g., Rumpl) are lighter, compress smaller, and shed water better and dry faster, while the Yakima provides more traditional insulation, breathability, and a woven aesthetic.
• What size Yakima Camp Blanket should I choose—Twin or Full/Queen—for camping and sharing?

  The Twin (66" x 84") is ideal for solo sleepers who want generous coverage or for layering, while the Full/Queen (90" x 90") gives roomy two-person coverage for sharing around a campfire or on a bed. Choose based on whether you prioritize packability and single use (Twin) or maximum shared coverage and comfort (Full/Queen).
