Alpaca Socks FAQ

Are alpaca socks warmer than wool socks?
Yes. Alpaca fibers are partly hollow, so they trap more body heat than sheep's wool and merino while staying lightweight. That is why our heavyweight alpaca socks are a favorite for cold winters.

Do alpaca socks itch?
No. Alpaca fiber is smoother than regular wool and contains no lanolin, so it is soft, itch-free and a good choice for sensitive skin.

Which alpaca socks should I choose: heavyweight or hiker?
Choose the heavyweight alpaca socks for extreme cold, snow boots and lounging at home. Choose the alpaca hiker socks for everyday wear, hiking and walking when you want warmth without bulk.

Why do your alpaca socks have nylon and spandex?
A small amount of stretch nylon and spandex gives the socks a snug fit, helps them keep their shape and makes them last longer. The alpaca does the warming.

How do I wash alpaca socks?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild or baby shampoo, do not wring, press out the water between towels and dry flat away from direct heat.
