Close Irish Woven Blanket | Armagh Ulster Family Crest Throw
Close Irish Woven Blanket | Armagh Ulster Family Crest Throw
Close is a name for someone who lived by an enclosure, and in Ireland it enclosed itself in Ulster. This premium heritage woven blanket honors the Close family crest against the Irish National Tartan.
The Close Name in Ireland
The name is English, from the word for a walled yard or enclosed field, and it settled into Ulster in the seventeenth century — Antrim, Down, and Armagh have held most Irish Closes ever since. The Closes of Drumbanagher in County Armagh became one of that county's established landed families, and the name runs steadily through three centuries of Ulster parish and townland records without ever straying far from where it first put down roots.
How the Close Blanket Is Made
The loom sets the design for good. Crest and tartan are formed in 100% premium cotton yarn within the weave, finished with traditional fringed edges.
