Larkin Irish Woven Blanket | O'Larkin Family Crest Tartan Throw

The O'Larkin name is a Gaelic Irish surname with a strong presence in County Tipperary and the midland counties, its bearers part of the native Irish community of Leinster and Munster. O'Learchaigh in Irish, the Larkin families were part of the Gaelic world of Tipperary and the surrounding region, their name carrying through the upheavals of the Tudor conquest and the Cromwellian settlement into the present. This Irish woven blanket features the O'Larkin family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep midland and south Leinster roots.

History & Heritage

The Larkin name is associated primarily with County Tipperary and the surrounding counties of Leinster and Munster, and it spread widely across Ireland through the centuries. James Larkin, the great trade union organiser born in Liverpool to Irish parents from County Down, became one of the towering figures of Irish labour history — his role in founding the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union in 1909 and his leadership during the Dublin Lockout of 1913 making him a defining figure of early twentieth-century Ireland. The Larkin name carries both its ancient Gaelic Tipperary roots and this extraordinary modern Irish legacy.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the O'Larkin family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece correctly.
