Alpaca City Socks

  • £12.50
  • in stock

The perfect everyday sock for commuters and  working men in the City. Made from exquisite 75% Alpaca these are a plain knitted sock that  fit in normal shoes. Even in warm weather these breathe naturally and never seem to feel overly warm, in fact they seem to keep feet at a perfect temperature all the time.

They are as soft as cashmere to wear, comfortable, surprisingly durable and improve with wear, as do all very high quality fibres. Alpaca repels bacteria and odour so even after a hard day your feet will feel fresh.

The price is for one pair only. Please go to our gift box section if you would like to create your own box of socks.

Orders are sent 1st Class Recorded delivery unless they are large or heavy items in which case they will go by a carrier. Recorded Delivery items will need a signature. The carrier will need a signature or your permission to leave somewhere safe. If you would like your item by the following day please select Next Day in the shipping option section.

We can send gifts all over the world and only charge the rates we are charged ourselves. Ireland is classed as Europe for postage purposes. Norway is not a member of the EU and goods will be subject to import duty. Customers in the Channel Islands need to specify their island and not select United Kingdom to have the VAT deducted - we cannot adjust it manually after the order has been placed. Import duty in Brazil is so absurd we suggest you do not even think about doing an order.

It has been a labour of love to produce and source the wonderful products that you've seen on this site. Similarly, we want to be sure that Perilla also offers the very best customer service. We want you to be 100% satisfied, not only with your purchases but also with your dealings with us. If you have a problem please let us know.

7. We try our very best to respond to e-mails within 1 day. Please bear in mind that in very bad weather we have been known to lose our Broadband connection and our phone lines - the farm is the last one on the line in the middle of nowhere.

All our alpaca socks, with the exception of bed socks, are made of  75% pure alpaca and 25% nylon which gives the socks shape. Our socks have hand-linked toes which makes the seams flat and comfortable.

Alpaca has unique hollow fibres which have higher insulating properties than any other wool. The fibre has a low prickle factor and can be worn by those who normally cannot tolerate wool next to their skin. Alpaca naturally repels bacteria and odour so socks can be worn for a week without the need to wash. Embrace the arrival of Long Life Socks!

We have found that alpaca socks and knitwear wash beautifully and there is no shrinkage at all, ever. We have socks that have been worn and washed regularly for the last five years and they are still perfect.

It is not heat that will ruin your alpaca goods but agitation, this is why it is imperative to do them on a wool cycle only in your machine – or hand wash of course.

 

  • Wash on a 30/40° C wool cycle.
  • Wash in a net bag or pillowcase.
  • Can be washed gently by hand in tepid water with a short spin.
  • Wash dark colours separately.
  • Reshape while damp.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Dry naturally – they do take 24 hours to air dry properly.
  • Do not dry on direct heat such as a radiator or Aga.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Can be ironed.
