This weaving fragment is included in a sample book assembled by Frances Goodrich, most likely during the 1920s. Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944) was among the first to promote a revival of weaving in the North Carolina mountains, having founded Allanstand Cottage Industries in 1896. Later, the shop moved to Asheville. The pattern is on the twenty-fifth page of the sample book. It is tagged with the shop address in Asheville and includes the note, "Pattern Young Lady's Perplexity". The swatch of fabric was woven as a sample strip and attached to the book with brads.
