2019
Why?
We saw the growing issue of homelessness in our communities and the difficulties that they face during the cold Canadian winters.
2019 - 2020
Hockey Sock Toques
Starting from scratch, we had to find a simple way to get and give warm clothing. Repurposing hockey socks into toques became our unique and sustainable way of creating toques to give!
2019 - Now
Our Community
Our community is the heart of our story. The support we’ve received has been the reason that we continue to grow and help more people.

Black Merino Toque
Description:
Our most premium toque and newest addition to the Toques From The Heart family! Made out of Merino Wool it offers a heightened level of softness and stretchiness that will make you forget you’re even wearing it. To top it off we added a classy suede tag with a debossed logo.
Why Merino Wool?
Super soft, Regulates body temperature, Resists Odors
Merino wool is well known for its extreme softness and comfort. It’s not prickly like other wools. It’s also known to help regulate body temperature. The natural crimped fibers trap air insulating you from the cold weather. When doing adventurous activities such as running or hiking, it transports sweat quickly away from the skin keeping you nice and dry. If you sweat, Merino wool also resists odor so you don’t have to worry about it smelling. It absorbs the odor caused by bacteria, trapping their smell so it doesn’t build up.
