Gamble Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Gamble name in Ireland is an English-origin surname carried by families who settled in Ulster during the plantation era and the decades that followed, becoming part of the Ulster-Scots and Anglo-Irish communities of the northern counties. The name derives from the Old Norse gamal, meaning old, carried into English through the Scandinavian-influenced world of northern England and Scotland and brought to Ulster by settler families in the seventeenth century. Gamble families appear in the records of Counties Antrim, Down, and the broader Ulster region as part of the established Protestant settler community. This Irish woven blanket features the Gamble family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

Background

The Gamble families of Ulster were part of the wider Ulster Scots and Anglo-Irish settler community that transformed the northern counties through the Plantation of Ulster and the subsequent generations of settlement. Their descendants became thoroughly integrated into Ulster life, farming its rich agricultural land, trading in its market towns, and contributing to the civic and religious life of the province. For those who find Gamble in their Ulster Irish family record, the heritage connects to this distinctive northern Irish tradition.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Gamble family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself, giving consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece in the appropriate manner.
