On our way home from the
Wallowas we stopped in
Pendleton. We had lunch at the
Mainstreet Diner. We walked up and down Main Street after lunch and checked out saddles, Western wear, another thrift store, and posed with oversize boots.
Then we drove to the
Pendleton Woolen Mills for a tour.
The dyed wool is transferred from the long spools here by the green machine in the background to the shorter, wider ones used by the looms. The fat spools contain wool from about two sheep.
The loom room was very loud.
Each length of fabric is inspected and any mistakes found are repaired if possible. If it can not be fixed it is sold as a "second."
