Peter Hagerty and his wife Marty Tracy started buying wool from the Soviet Union back in 1985 in hopes that through trade they could help diffuse the threat of nuclear war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years Peter traveled through eastern Europe, central Asia and the Middle East in search of farmers and shepherds who are willing to set aside historic enmities in exchange for opportunities leading to mutual understanding and economic interdependence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarty believed that promoting crafts in our hectic society is important. By inspiring people to work with their hands, she hoped that they can find more time to discover their own inner solutions for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an attempt to decrease their carbon footprint, Peace Fleece changed their blend so that 90% of the wool and mohair comes from the United States, including the Blue Gap Ranchers on the Black Mesa, Navajo Nation near Chinle, AZ only a few hours from Moab, UT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter and Marty recently retired.
