I feel like I visited the *real* Pendleton Woolen mill today. And is isn't in Pendleton or even in Oregon. The real mill that does most of the work is the mill in Washougal Washington. In Pendleton they make some of
the wool into yarn, but it goes to Washougal to be dyed. The fancy
Jacquard looms are in Pendleton, but the cloth that is woven there goes
to Washougal for finishing. The mill in Washougal is a 300,000 sq/ft
monster with a lot of more ordinary looms and a ton of other equipment.
The tour is free, but you can't take photos inside the Washougal mill.
The Pendleton mill is more colorful and they allow photography.
