Crofton Irish Woven Blanket | Roscommon Family Crest Throw

Crofton is a farmstead name — the croft and its enclosure — that became a Connacht landholding name. This premium heritage woven blanket honors the Crofton family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

The Crofton Name in Ireland

The English original describes exactly what it sounds like: a croft, a small enclosed field, and a tun, the farmstead beside it. It is the vocabulary of working the land rather than of ruling it, which makes the family's Irish trajectory the more notable. Croftons established themselves in Roscommon and Sligo from the sixteenth century and became one of the settled landholding families of Connacht, with the name recurring through local records for generations afterward. It is a name that changed class as it changed country — a farm word that ended up on estates.

How the Crofton Blanket Is Made

Loom-made rather than printed. The crest and tartan are worked into the fabric in 100% premium cotton, with traditional fringed edges to finish.
