Spring Showcase Artist Feature: Heads and Toes (Kitchener/Waterloo)

In the days leading up to our Spring Artisans Showcase and Power of Play Fundraiser (April 26, 2013 6-9 pm at the Fergus Legion) we wanted to take a few minutes each day and recognize some of the amazing artisans and vendors who will be at our showcase!

Today we are featuring Heads and Toes (Kitchener/Waterloo)



Heads and Toes began by two Moms who love their craft and never go anywhere without a little knitting project in our purses! Having always enjoyed creating homemade knitwear for our children and for friends and family the move to starting a home business was an exciting next step.  With encouragement from our families we decided to make more of our own original designs and began selling them at local craft sales and from our homes. We now have an Etsy store, a Facebook page and have added many fun items to our collections which can be viewed on our Facebook page.




We live in Kitchener/Waterloo and whenever possible we purchase our materials locally! We love to make our knits with soft and natural fibres such as fine merino wool, baby alpaca or llama, cashmere, cotton and bamboo. We charge a fair price for our beautiful creations and find using quality materials means they last longer and are more durable.




We are always designing new items and we get inspiration from nature, animals and what is new in fashion. We enjoy creating custom items for our customers who have something special in mind but are having trouble finding it. We love to take on a challenge and create something you can enjoy wearing. Heads and Toes have added beautiful hand sewn dresses and cotton sun hats as well as hair accessories to our collections. We are always planning and creating and enjoying where this process is taking us.
