Gibson Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Gibson name in Ireland is carried by families of Scottish and English origin who came to Ulster during the plantation era, their name a variant of Gibbon — son of Gib, the familiar form of Gilbert. Gibson families appear in the records of Counties Antrim, Down, and the broader Ulster region as part of the Ulster-Scots settler community that transformed the province in the seventeenth century, becoming a permanent and distinctive part of the Irish north. This Irish woven blanket features the Gibson family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this name as part of their Ulster Irish heritage.

Background

The Gibson name in Ulster is associated with the Presbyterian Scots-Irish community — that distinctive tradition of Scottish Presbyterian settlers who came to Ulster in the seventeenth century and whose descendants formed one of the most characteristic communities in Irish history, known for their independence, their religious conviction, and their eventual contribution to the founding of the United States of America through the great eighteenth-century emigrations. Gibson families were part of this community, their name carried across Ulster and, in time, across the Atlantic to the Appalachian frontier and beyond.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Gibson family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to its 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.
