Lees Irish Woven Blanket | Ulster Family Crest Throw

Lees is an Ulster name, and a name often mistaken for a different one entirely. This premium heritage woven blanket honors the Lees family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

History & Heritage

Lees in Ireland is concentrated in the northern counties and arrived with Scottish and English settlement rather than from Gaelic stock. It is worth separating from Lee, the Munster and Connacht name anglicized from Ó Laoidhigh, which sounds close but grows from an entirely different root. A family researching a Lees line through Antrim, Down, or Armagh is usually following a Scottish trail rather than an Irish one — and the two histories are better kept apart than run together.

Woven Craftsmanship

This is a woven blanket, not a printed one. The crest and tartan are constructed from the cotton yarn itself, which gives the surface a real texture under the hand, and the edges are finished with a traditional fringe. 100% premium cotton throughout.
