Collins Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | O'Collins Family Crest Tartan Throw

Collins — from the Gaelic Ó Coileain, meaning descendant of Coileán, a name rooted in the word for ‘whelp’ or ‘young warrior’ — is one of the most widely carried surnames in Ireland. The O’Collinses were a significant Gaelic family of County Cork, and the name spread across Munster and beyond to become one of the island’s most recognisable. It is also a name forever associated with one of Ireland’s most celebrated figures: Michael Collins, the Cork-born revolutionary and architect of Irish independence whose life and death shaped the nation.

This woven blanket honours that deep and storied heritage. The Irish tartan is constructed on the loom, the pattern built into the structure of the cloth thread by thread through the act of weaving itself. The design runs through the full depth of the textile — not a surface effect, but a structural one, holding its integrity through years of use and across generations.

The cotton yarn is chosen for the quality of its twist and the evenness it gives to the finished surface. The fringe at each end forms naturally as the weave concludes — the honest ending of a piece made with complete intention.

• Premium cotton yarn
• Woven, not printed — pattern runs through the full textile
• Available in 52"×37", 60"×50", and 80"×60"
• Fringed edges — a natural finish to the woven structure

For the Collins family — a piece that carries one of Ireland’s most beloved names with the care it deserves. Celtic Ancestry Gifts also carries the Collins design across mugs, apparel, ornaments, and a full range of heritage products.
