{"product_id":"mcauliffe-surname-irish-heritage-woven-blanket-4668803","title":"McAuliffe Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe McAuliffe name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — Mac Amhlaibh in Irish, son of Amhlaibh, the Irish form of the Norse name Olaf — found principally in County Cork and the Munster counties. The Norse name Olaf entered the Irish naming tradition through the Viking settlements of the ninth and tenth centuries, and Mac Amhlaibh families descend from those who bore this Norse-origin name in the Gaelic world of Munster. This Irish woven blanket features the McAuliffe family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep Cork and Munster roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe McAuliffe families of County Cork were lords of a territory in the barony of Duhallow in north Cork, an upland landscape of mountains and river valleys in the north of the county where the Blackwater and its tributaries drain the watershed between Cork and Kerry. Their territory placed them within the broader world of Munster’s Gaelic families, neighbours to the MacCarthys and the O’Sullivans whose power dominated the south-west. The McAuliffe name today is concentrated in County Cork, found across the north and west of the county and throughout the Munster diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the McAuliffe family crest and the Irish National Tartan formed 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.\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 textile\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\u003eDraped across a sofa, displayed in a study, or laid over a reading chair — this blanket carries the McAuliffe name into a home where County Cork and north Munster Irish heritage is a living part of the family story.
