Frances L. Goodrich’s Brown Book of Weaving Drafts is a remarkable reference dedicated to traditional eighteenth and nineteenth century weaving drafts. The book presents original written threading sequences used on looms to create specific patterns, preserved exactly as they were collected by Frances L. Goodrich.

Illustrated with over 160 color photographs, this volume also includes more than 200 modern translations of the same drafts, allowing contemporary weavers to interpret and use these historic patterns on today’s looms.

Beyond its technical value, the book offers a rich historical context. In 1890, Frances L. Goodrich moved to the mountains of North Carolina, where her work with local communities helped preserve an important textile heritage. This book stands as both a technical archive and a tribute to that legacy.
