Folliott Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Folliott name is an Anglo-Norman Irish surname with roots in the Norman world, carried by families who settled in Ireland during the medieval and plantation periods and became part of the established gentry of the northern counties. Folliott — from a Norman given name or place-name tradition — appears in the Irish record principally in County Donegal and the Ulster region, where the family were landowners of some standing in the early modern period. This Irish woven blanket features the Folliott family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with genuine Ulster Irish heritage.

History & Heritage

The Folliotts of County Donegal were part of the Ulster Plantation gentry — families who received grants of confiscated Gaelic Irish land in the early seventeenth century and established themselves in the newly planted northern counties. Their presence in Donegal placed them at the edge of the most Gaelic part of Ireland, in a county that had been the heartland of the O’Donnell and O’Neill lordships and that retained its Gaelic character longer than almost any other part of the island. The Folliott family navigated this complex Ulster world as part of the planted gentry class, their name becoming part of the County Donegal record across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Craftsmanship

This is a woven blanket — the Folliott family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the cotton textile during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth structure itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton yarn, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece in the appropriate manner.
