Sloane Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Sloane name carries a heritage rooted in the Ulster Gaelic world — a name brought from Scotland to Ireland and made distinctively Irish across the centuries of the Plantation era. This woven blanket honours that heritage through the Sloane family crest and the Irish National Tartan.

The Sloane Name

From the Scottish Gaelic Sluaghadhán — a personal name from sluaghadh, meaning an expedition or hosting — the Sloane family came to Ulster during the plantation of the early seventeenth century. They settled principally in County Down and County Antrim, becoming part of the Ulster-Scots community that shaped the province from that period onward. The name’s most celebrated bearer is Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753), born in Killyleagh, County Down — a physician and naturalist of extraordinary achievement whose collection of over 71,000 objects became the founding collection of the British Museum. Sloane Square in London bears his name. The Sloane family’s journey from the shores of County Down to the founding of one of the world’s great institutions is one of the remarkable stories in the Irish diaspora tradition.

Woven Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven on a loom, not printed. The Sloane crest and Irish tartan design are integral to the textile — formed within every thread, giving the piece its depth, weight, and lasting quality. Premium cotton yarn and traditional fringed edges complete the heirloom finish.
