Chaloner Irish Woven Blanket | Blanket Maker Family Crest Throw

Chaloner is the one surname in this collection that belongs on a blanket by definition. This premium heritage woven blanket honors the Chaloner family crest against the Irish National Tartan.

The Chaloner Name in Ireland

A chaloner was a maker of chalons — the woolen bed coverlets named for Châlons in France — so the name literally means blanket maker. It reached Ireland by the sixteenth century, and Luke Challoner stood among the founding fellows of Trinity College Dublin, helping assemble the library that grew into one of the world's great collections. Challoner, with the double l, is the same name; both spellings stayed uncommon here. Four centuries on, a blanket-maker's name returns to a blanket — some things come around.

How the Chaloner Blanket Is Made

A chaloner would recognize this work: the crest and tartan are woven from 100% premium cotton yarn into the cloth itself, finished with a traditional fringe.
