Mourning Dove
Dusky Rose Brown

Our two new colors honor the Mourning Doves and Blue Jays at Marty's birdfeeder who do not fight over the seed provided. 100% of the proceeds from Mourning Dove Worsted Weight will go to The Marigold Fund (www.marigoldfund.org), whose mission is to help Afghans rebuild their country.





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.
