Cotter Irish Woven Blanket | Norse Cork Family Crest Throw
Cotter Irish Woven Blanket | Norse Cork Family Crest Throw
Cotter is one of the few Irish surnames the Vikings left behind. This premium heritage woven blanket honors the Cotter family crest against the Irish National Tartan.
The Cotter Name in Ireland
The Irish is Mac Coitir, from the Norse personal name Óttar — a rare case of a Gaelic surname built on a Viking first name. The family belongs to County Cork, seated east of the city, and the eighteenth century made the name famous there: Sir James Cotter, the leading Catholic gentleman of his day in Cork, was executed in 1720 on charges his countrymen never accepted, and Munster's poets mourned him in Irish verse for a generation. MacCotter keeps the fuller form of the name.
How the Cotter Blanket Is Made
The design goes in at the loom, not after. Crest and tartan are formed from 100% premium cotton yarn in the weave, finished with a traditional fringe.
