Products to Buy for A Good Cause |
|
Since its inception in 1985, Peace Fleece has been a for-profit company. But there have been certain cases where we felt drawn to share the profits with specific people, families or projects. Several of these projects are listed below. |

| Mourning Dove | |

| From the outset Peace Fleece has sought to blend Russian, Central Asian and Eastern European wool with fiber sourced in America. However in our new blend 90% of our wool and mohair now comes from the United States.
We have become very concerned with the polarization occurring at home so several years ago I began traveling across our country visiting sheep farmers who supply us with their wool. I wanted to hear from these families how they saw the political, cultural and religious crisis America is now facing. I spent time with the Moore family whose Merinos have been grazing Appalachian hill country for eight generations. I met with Native and non-native sheep ranchers on or near the Cheyenne River Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. It has been a journey of learning. We hope that you will enjoy this blend of their wools. |

| Baghdad Blue |
| When the United States invaded Iraq, we looked for a way to respond to such a blow against diplomacy. All the proceeds from the sale of Baghdad blue, the color of the late afternoon sky shortly after the snow clouds have broken, will be donated to the Palesatinian/Israeli village of Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salaam.* Please note that this yarn fades to a beautiful washed denim with regular washing and sun exposure.* Worsted Weight. |
Peace Fleece Supports Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam | ||
| In response to the intensifying conflicts in Israel, Peace Fleece is choosing to support the very courageous village of Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam, through the sale of the kits shown below. Most of the yarn is a blend of wool from Abul Abed's flock that live next to NS/WAS and wool from the Maine Islands. Peace Fleece is donating all materials and patterns for the kits. All of the sale price will be sent to NS/WAS. | ||
 |
Four times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam ('Oasis of Peace' in Hebrew and Arabic) is a village in Israel established jointly by Jews and Palestinian Arabs of Israeli citizenship. The village is comprised of fifty families that live and work together on a hillside looking out towards the west and the Mediterranean Sea. Abu Abed (left) is shearing sheep while Israeli and Palestinian children look on. | |
Along with their homes the families have also built: a primary school (the only bilingual one in Israel); the School For Peace, which provides conflict resolution encounter workshops for Palestinian and Jewish youth, university students and adults; and The Center for Spiritual Pluralism - a place for spiritual reflection on issuses at the core of the Middle East conflict and the search for its resolution. | ||
For a more detailed account with inspirational photos of the harrowing adventure carrying medicines on foot through mountians to clinics in the West Bank, please visit Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam. | ||
In response to the village's request for aid, Peace Fleece has designed and produced the following kits to benefit this special community. One hundred percent of the money received from the sale of these kits will be sent sent to the Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam community. The yarn, blended from Middle Eastern and American wool, is donated by Peace Fleece. | ||
Key Chain Kit |
 | |
| Like mini fiber sculptures, these braids are made from wrapped strands of Mid-East and Maine Island yarn with some hand dyed as well. Very easy and meditative to make. Kit includes instructions plus enough supplies to make 2 key chains as well an an information sheet about Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam. | ||

Mid-East Chunky Potholder Kit with Needles | |
| These potholders have way outlasted all others on our stove. Super easy to make and lovely to use. They really insulate too. Don't worry about washing them - when they're dirty, throw them in the washing machine. Felting will improve their insulating quality. Kit makes 2 potholders and contains 4 colorful 1 oz. balls of Mid East/Maine Island wool yarn, large size wooden Russian knitting needles, Peace Fleece brochure, and pattern. | ||
