While we realize that this is a significant increase in price from last year, we note that Pendleton has made changes
to their manufacturing specifications, and subsequently the cost will be higher this year. In return, we expect a
phenomenal product of finer grade and higher quality. If you haven't yet contacted us with your "wish list," please
do so asap. We have had several members wanting to wait until the blankets come in so they can see them before
they decide how many to purchase. But the at-cost price will only be available to membership until the end of the
year, so you will need to act fast!
We have high expectations regarding this run of blankets. They will be a herringbone pattern of beige and bay-black
with a tuck-and-roll edge and, with the processing changes being made by Pendleton and the higher grading
standards adopted by us, should be more in line with what we would expect of our exquisite alpaca fiber. As before,
they will be 100% alpaca and should be 70 x 53 inches.
2009 BLANKETS
(Continued)
All indications are that we will have our approximately 500 blankets by
December 4th. We've been taking orders, but the numbers are not
coming in very fast, with only about 180 spoken for at the time of this
writing. Of course, as in the past, those who contributed fiber this year
get the first pick, with general membership after that, for the at-cost price
of $79, plus shipping and handling. After that they will be for sale at retail
on a first-come, first-served basis.

For those who have ordered blankets: If you send your payment prior to November 15, you will be guaranteed your

additional $2 per blanket for each thereafter. (i.e. One blanket $79 + $10 S/H = $89; Two blankets $158 + $12 S/H =
$170; Three blankets $237 + $14 S/H = $251, etc) If you have not ordered your blankets yet, please do so as soon as
