Alpaca socks for summer? Absolutely.
Alpaca is not only for winter. These socks are made to keep your feet comfortable when the weather warms up.
- Breathable: Fine Alpaca fibres let air move around your feet, so they feel less hot and stuffy.
- Moisture-wicking: Natural fibres draw moisture away from the skin, helping feet stay dry and fresh on warm days.
- Temperature balancing: The microscopic air pockets in alpaca fibre work as natural insulation. They help keep warmth in when it is cool and still feel comfortable when it's warm.
- Soft and silky: Baby alpaca is smooth, supple and naturally lanolin-free.
Cosy, comfy and a bit funky
This striped crew sock is warm, cosy and comfortable, with a playful look to keep things fun. Fine Australian merino wool is blended with soft Peruvian alpaca to create a sock that feels as good as it looks.
A top that stays put
The non-tight comfort top keeps the sock up without squeezing the leg or restricting circulation, so it may suit people who prefer a looser fit, including diabetics.
