THE WEAVERS AT FIBER DOODLES:
Dennis Yenzi...Dennis started his weaving career during his college days at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The entire process of weaving was fascinating to him...spinning wool into yarn then weaving the yarn into a finished product. Rag rugs, woven purses (small carpet bags), placemats, scarves, blankets and other functional items are the main focus of his weaving. Recently he began to study historical weave structures and is currently weaving fabrics inspired by cloth from the 18th and 19th centuries. This cloth will be used primarily as common clothing fabric for period costumes.
This is a photo of Dennis weaving in front of his vendors tent (Rags to Rugs) at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival in the summer of 2001.
