| 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. 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. |

Kalinka Malinka Blue Named for "Kalinka," a lighthearted Russian folk song celebrating raspberries, guelder roses, and freedom loving people sleeping in the forest. |

Marty made this stoney blue gray heather for Peter whose eyes are the color of this yarn. He wears his sweaters harder than anyone Marty has ever known and needs rugged, practical tweed to hide the dirt from their farm! Marty and Peter are co-owners of Peace Fleece. |
 | Baba's Sienna Made for the Russian Baba (grandmother) who tends the dacha (summer cottage) gardens - and particularly for two Baba's, Luba's mother Tatiana who died this summer after living a long life filled with stories, and Ivan's grandmother who still to this day sands our knitting needles in Yaraslav. |

Baba's Sienna is a green brown heather inspired by the turning oak leaves in the fall. |
