Cramer Irish Woven Blanket | Merchant Family Crest Throw

Cramer is a trade before it is a family: the merchant, the man with goods to sell. This premium heritage woven blanket honors the Cramer family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

The Cramer Name in Ireland

The root is the old continental word for a pedlar or shopkeeper, someone who carried a pack and dealt in small goods, and it produced surnames across Germany, the Low Countries, and England alike. Occupational names such as this one tell you what an ancestor did rather than where he lived, which makes them harder to place on a map and easier to place in a life. Cramers came into Ireland through trade and settlement and are recorded in the towns rather than the countryside, which is what you would expect of a merchant's name. For anyone researching the line, borough and guild records are often more useful than land records.

How the Cramer Blanket Is Made

Woven construction, not print. The crest and tartan are worked into the cloth in 100% premium cotton, which is what gives the blanket its weight and the fringe its body.
