{"product_id":"gilmartin-surname-irish-heraldry-woven-blanket-4665657","title":"Gilmartin Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gilmartin name — Mac Giolla Mhártain in Irish, son of the devotee of Saint Martin — is a Gaelic Irish surname rooted in County Sligo and the Connacht-Ulster borderlands, its bearers part of the native Irish community of the north-west. The name honours Saint Martin of Tours, one of the most widely venerated saints in the medieval church, whose cult spread through the Irish monastic tradition and gave rise to numerous Irish surnames invoking his name. This Irish woven blanket features the Gilmartin family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep Sligo and Connacht roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCounty Sligo sits at the meeting point of Connacht and Ulster, a county of dramatic landscapes — the limestone plateaux of the Bricklieve Mountains, the Atlantic coast, the Ben Bulben massif that Yeats made famous — and of deep Gaelic Irish history. The Gilmartin families were part of the Gaelic community of this distinctive county and the surrounding region, their name appearing in the records of Sligo and the Connacht-Ulster margins through the medieval and early modern periods. The name is found today in County Sligo and across the Irish diaspora wherever Connacht families settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Gilmartin family crest and the Irish National Tartan formed within the textile structure during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece in the correct manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: premium cotton yarn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: woven, not printed — design integral to the fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: 52″ × 37″, 60″ × 50″, 80″ × 60″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: traditional fringed edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: machine wash cold, tumble dry low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor Family \u0026amp; Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a sofa, across a reading chair, or displayed on a wall in a study or family room — this blanket carries the Gilmartin name into a home where Sligo and Connacht Irish heritage is a source of genuine pride.
