Barn loom
-
This barn loom was collected by Frances Goodrich. The loom is representative of the traditional four-harness looms used by weavers during the Craft Revivial period (1890 -1940) in the southern Appalachian mountains. Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944) first came to western North Carolina in 1892 to teach at a Presbyterian mission school outside Asheville, NC. It was during this course of work that she began working with weavers and initiating a craft business that would bring income to mountain families. As seen here, after restoration by Fred Chase in 1994, the loom was set up for display at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The weave pattern displayed on the loom is the Double Bow Knot pattern. The Double Bow Knot pattern derives its name from the half bows that join in the middle forming a square-shaped knot. Bow knot patterns can be created in a multitude of sizes.
