I made this handout about 10 years ago, and really need to make a better one, but have not gotten around to it, since I usually give brocade lessons one on one.
Ecclesiastical Pomp & Aristocratic Circumstance is the book I recommend for brocade. It is out of print, but a pdf is available from the author here:

Many people prefer to use a thicker thread or double thinner ones (such as wire) for the brocade weft.
