Peace Fleece sells knitting yarns as well as knitting and felting accessories. Many of the people with whom Peace Fleece works overseas are in the midst of political, social or economic crisis and some are living in a war zone. Knitting is essential to the economic and emotional survival of the Bosnian and Croatian women who make the slipper socks we offer in our printed catalog. The Palestinian and Israeli shepherds who make our drop spindles, and from whose sheep come the weaving yarns, face terrorism on a daily basis. And the Russian farmers and craftspeople with whom we work confront a daily dose of chaos and despair.
