From the outset Peace Fleece has sought to blend Russian, Central Asian and Eastern European wool with fiber sourced in America. In our new blend 90% of the wool and mohair in Peace Fleece comes from the United States. We have become very concerned at 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 and if they were willing, share with you their stories.
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. We hope that you will enjoy this blend of their wools.
