Why Alpaca Wool?
Alpaca wool is known for being exceptionally soft, warm, and lightweight. It’s warmer than sheep’s wool, naturally water-resistant, and hypoallergenic because it doesn’t contain lanolin. Alpaca fibers are also stronger and more durable, making them ideal for high-quality socks.
Yes! Alpaca wool is highly breathable and temperature-regulating, which means it keeps your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. These socks are perfect for year-round wear, whether you’re hitting the slopes or going for a summer hike.
Yes, alpaca wool is naturally hypoallergenic. Unlike sheep’s wool, alpaca fibers do not contain lanolin, which is often the cause of wool allergies. This makes our socks a great option for those with sensitive skin.
No, alpaca wool has natural anti-microbial properties that help to resist odors. This means your socks will stay fresher for longer, even after a long day of wear.
Alpaca wool is a natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly material. It’s softer, more breathable, and offers better insulation than synthetic fibers. While synthetics may be cheaper, they can’t match the luxurious comfort and performance of alpaca wool.
Absolutely! Our alpaca wool is ethically sourced from Peru, where the animals are treated with care and respect. We work closely with local communities to ensure that our products are produced sustainably and with fair trade practices.
Definitely. Alpaca wool socks are perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and camping. They offer excellent insulation, moisture-wicking properties, and durability, making them ideal for physically demanding jobs and hobbies.

Product Care
For the best results, we recommend hand washing your alpaca wool socks in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently swish them around and rinse thoroughly. Avoid wringing them out to prevent stretching the fibers.
Yes, you can machine wash your alpaca wool socks, but use the delicate or wool cycle with cold water. Turn the socks inside out and use a mild detergent. We recommend placing them in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
It’s best to avoid using a dryer, as the heat can cause the fibers to shrink and lose their softness. Instead, lay your socks flat on a clean towel and let them air dry naturally.
Store your alpaca wool socks in a cool, dry place. Make sure they’re clean and completely dry before putting them away. You can fold them neatly and keep them in a drawer or a breathable storage bag to maintain their shape and softness.
If your socks become stretched, you can reshape them after washing. While they’re still damp, gently pull them back into shape and let them air dry flat. This should help restore their original form.
Alpaca wool is more resistant to pilling compared to other types of wool. However, some light pilling may occur with heavy use. You can gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver or a sweater stone.
