Hoey Irish Woven Blanket | O'Hoey Family Crest Tartan Throw

The O'Hoey name is a Gaelic Irish surname found in County Down and the broader Ulster region, the family part of the native Irish community of the province. O'hÉoche in Irish, the Hoey families were part of the Gaelic world of south Ulster, a region shaped by the great dynasties of the MacDonnells, the O'Neills, and the Mac Dunlevy lords of Dal Fiatach in County Down. This Irish woven blanket features the O'Hoey family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep Down and Ulster Gaelic roots.

The Name

County Down — the county of Saint Patrick’s burial place at Downpatrick — is one of the most historically layered counties in Ireland, its landscape ranging from the Mourne Mountains to the shores of Strangford Lough and the Ards Peninsula. The Hoey families were part of the Gaelic Irish community of this county, their name appearing in the records of south Ulster through the medieval and early modern periods. Like many Ulster Gaelic families, the Hoeys experienced the upheavals of the Plantation era but maintained their name and identity through the changed landscape of the province.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the O'Hoey family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece correctly.
