Why choose alpaca?

Alpaca fibre is one of nature's quiet luxuries - soft, breathable and remarkably hard wearing. Unlike ordinary wool, alpaca contains no lanolin, which means it is naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. The fibre's unique hollow structure traps warmth without weight, keeping your feet cosy in winter and comfortably cool in summer. 

Alpaca is also exceptionally durable. Each strand has a smooth, silky surface that resists pilling and friction, so your socks stay in great condition for longer. It is a fibre that has evolved for the extremes of the Andes, giving it impressive strength, temperature regulation and moisture wicking abilities. 

With 22 natural colours, alpaca offers one of the richest palettes in the animal kingdom. It is a sustainable choice too - alpacas are light on the land, gentle grazers and produce a high quality fleece with minimal environmental impact.
