We hope you'll LOVE Joe`s Toes! Whether you buy for yourself, to give as a gift or purchase ready made, our easy-to-make kits are fun to put together and a joy to wear. We have slipper kits to suit all ages, from our tiny newborn knit and crochet kits up to a women's shoe size 16.
Looking forward to meeting customers old and new in 2022.
If you can't make it to a fair we are always here online!
All events take place in the UK unless otherwise noted.

https://farnhammaltings.com/events/unravel-a-festival-of-yarn
Here's what the organisers say "A celebration of all things yarn making from knitting and crochet to spinning and weaving.
At the core of unravel's three day in-person festival is the curated marketplace which showcases independent producers, well established makers alongside first-time yarn show exhibitors from around the UK. In addition, on each day of the festival, there is an inspiring programme of bookable workshops."
We couldn't agree more. It's a fabulous show in a beautiful building in the centre of Farnham. An easy day trip by train from London and easy parking if you arrive by car.
