THE BEST, MOST COMFORTABLE SOCKS IN THE WORLD

That's right. You heard it here first. Alpaca socks are the best, most comfortable socks in the world. Why? Well, you probably already know that wool socks are the ultimate in cozy comfort when the weather begins to cool. Conventional wool (lambs wool and goats wools) can be scratchy and bulky winter items, making them undesirable for everyday wear. Alpaca is different. If you are looking for the ultimate in lightweight comfort, warmth, softness, and durability, you really cannot find a better option than alpaca socks.

Alpacas are incredible animals, and their fur is an awesome renewable resource and environmentally kind. Choosing fibers from these animals is an incredible option for the earth and for your wardrobe.

Comfort

Alpaca wool is known for their sturdy and soft fibers. These alpaca wool products have the velvety soft feel of cashmere, and the lustrous sheen of silk. This makes products created from these fibers beautiful and strong. Plus, alpacas create 2-3 times more wool than cashmere goats and the fibers are much easier to harvest than silkworm fibers. This makes them a more affordable option.

The alpaca fibers are also known for their ability to wick water away from the body. This amazing benefit is especially desirable for socks because it keeps your feet warm and dry. The fibers are also very breathable which helps to keep you snug without overheating.

Hypoallergenic

Many people find that wool socks are irritating or scratchy. In fact, many people cannot tolerate wearing wool directly against their skin for this very reason. This is typically due to the lanolin present upon the fibers and the scratchy structure of the wool. Alpaca is much more comfortable because it lacks lanolin and the fibers are structured differently. This lack of lanolin makes alpaca products naturally hypoallergenic! And the smooth texture of the fibers makes them soft and comfortable, even when worn directly against the skin.

Warm

Did you know that polar bear hairs are hollow? This allows air to remain trapped within and between the hairs which helps the animals to maintain their body heat and natural warmth. Believe if or not, alpaca fibers are structured the same way. This hollow structure traps small pockets of air. When woven together, this trapped air and keeps body heat in while still allowing for maximum breathability.

Lightweight

This hollow structure of the alpaca fibers also makes these products as warm and durable as other wool options but at a much lighter weight. This allows you to stay just as toasty without the excessive bulk that is typically associated with wool socks and other clothing items. Lightweight socks means more room in the toe box of your winter shoes, which makes for a much more comfortable fit.

Durable

Alpaca fibers retain their strength and shape, this makes them long lasting. Alpaca wool has been shown to shrink less than other types of wool. This maintains the shape and structure of the garments made with it. The fibers from alpacas are also stain resistant. When discoloration is unlikely, the result is a longer lasting product. Best of all, alpaca fibers are odor resistant. This makes them excellent for socks!

Beautiful

Alpaca fibers naturally occur in 22 different shades. This means that even if you are trying to avoid dyes, there are still many options available to you. These naturally occurring shades are every bit as comfortable as the dyed versions.

If dyes are not an issue for you, then this opens up an entire rainbow of color options for your alpaca product. Alpaca fibers tend to hold their color extremely well, this makes their colors vibrant and gorgeous for years. That, combined with their natural softness makes these products an incredible bang for your buck purchase.

Whether comfort, environmental impact, warmth, or durability is the deciding factor for you when purchasing new socks - you simply cannot find a higher quality product that has as many benefits as socks made with alpaca fibers. These socks will be lighter weight, more breathable, softer, and warmer than any other woolen sock on the market. With the added benefit of intense durability, you can consider these socks an investment in your winter wardrobe that will last for many years to come.
