Franklin Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Franklin name in Ireland is an English-origin surname carried by families who came to Ireland during the plantation and settlement periods of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, their name derived from the Middle English frankeleyn — a free man, a landholder of free status below the rank of the knightly gentry. Franklin families settled across the Irish counties as part of the English settler community, and their descendants became part of Irish society across the generations. This Irish woven blanket features the Franklin family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this name as part of their Irish heritage.

The Name

The franklin — the free landowner — was a significant social rank in medieval and early modern England, a man of substance who held land freely and was part of the local community without belonging to the titled nobility. Families who took Franklin as their surname in England carried that social identity into the new communities they formed in Ireland, where the name appears in the records of various counties as part of the English settler presence. Over time, Irish Franklin families became as much a part of their communities as any family of older Irish provenance.

Construction

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