My dad's Pendleton shirts were discarded
I have purchased Pendleton pleated skirts at a thrift store and taken them apart. I match the plaids when joined together (tailoring trick) and hem sides as needed. This makes a nice throw. Since I enjoy the feel of the Pendleton and don't have any allergies I use large matching pieces w/o batting and backing as a light blanket. I also carefully machine wash the wool throw/ blanket just as Dad laundered his shirts!
