McEvoy Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The McEvoy name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — Mac Fhiodhbhuidhe in Irish, son of Fiodhbhuidhe, a personal name meaning yellow wood or woodbine — found principally in County Laois and the midland counties, the family part of the native Irish community of the province. The McEvoy families were lords of a territory in County Laois, part of the same midland landscape that was home to the O'More, O'Connor, and other Gaelic families who resisted the Tudor plantation of the sixteenth century. This Irish woven blanket features the McEvoy family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a County Laois midland heritage.

History & Heritage

County Laois — the first county in Ireland to be subjected to systematic plantation in the 1550s, known then as Queen’s County — was home to several Gaelic families whose resistance to English encroachment made the midlands one of the most turbulent frontiers of the Tudor era. The McEvoy families were part of this world, their territory in the county connecting them to the long tradition of midland Gaelic resistance. The name today is found across Laois, Offaly, and the midland counties, always rooted in the remarkable landscape of the Irish centre.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the McEvoy family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into 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.
