Alpaca wool is the perfect material for socks. It's as soft as cashmere, wicks moisture, insulates better than nearly every fiber on the market, and is safe for sensitive skin as alpacas do not produce lanolin. Man-made 'high performance' fibers attempt to recreate the natural structure and benefits of alpaca wool, but nothing quite matches the real thing. Our alpaca wool is sourced directly from Peru and is a fully sustainable fiber.
Sizing note: If you are between sizes, and/or have a wider foot we recommend sizing up to the larger size.
