Peace Fleece began in 1985 when Peter Hagerty and Marty Tracy started to trade
with Russia. They implemented there beliefs that trade could help enemies move
forward, cooperate, and prosper. They expanded through work with shepherds from
Kyrgzia, Israel, West Bank and the US. Many of these people live in a state of
political, social, and economic crisis. This live in war zones, face terrorism,
and struggle with chaos and despair daily.
Knitting is an essential economic and emotional aspect of their lives. Marty
also feels that through knitting and working with your hands one can find their
own inner solutions for peace. It is their strong desire to be proactive and to
show others how to be proactive during these times when we are bombarded with
negativity, depressing international news and feeling of hopelessness. Their
commitment and vision to working with shepherds, and artists make a huge
contribution to social change. Through Peter, and Marty, we are all enabled to
partake in social change.
