Frequently Asked Questions
Are Alpaca socks itchy?
No. Alpaca is smooth, supple and silky against the skin.
How do I wash alpaca socks?
Give them a short, warm wash on a medium cycle with similar colours. It is best if you air dry but you can tumble dry them warm. Please don't use bleach.
Do alpaca socks make your feet sweaty?
Natural fibres like alpaca move moisture away from your skin and let air circulate, so they tend to feel drier and more comfortable than many synthetic socks. Our socks do include some nylon and Lycra for strength and stretch, but the main fibres are natural like baby alpaca.
What are the socks made from?
The content of each of our Australian made socks is slightly different, check the content listed above.
Where are these socks made?
They're proudly made in Australia, using fine Australian merino from reputable Victorian graziers who care about animal welfare. Solar electricity is used to make every second pair.
Will my Alpaca socks shrink?
Following the care instructions (a short, warm wash, tumble dry on warm only, and no bleach) helps your socks keep their shape and softness.
What size should I choose?
Check the size guide above and match your foot length (heel to longest toe) to the chart. Small suits UK ladies 3–8 and UK mens 4.5–7. Medium suits UK ladies 8–11 and UK mens 7–10. Large suits UK mens 10–13. If you're between sizes, size up for a roomier fit or down for a snugger one.
Will the socks stay up?
Yes. The comfort top holds the sock in place without a tight band, so they stay put without digging in.
Are these socks suitable for diabetics?
The non-tight comfort top is designed to stay up without squeezing or restricting circulation, so these socks may suit people who prefer a looser fit, including diabetics. For personal medical advice, please check with your health professional.
Are alpaca socks good for summer?
Yes. Alpaca fibre is fine and breathable, and the microscopic air pockets in it help balance temperature, so your feet aren't stuck feeling hot and stuffy. These socks also help draw moisture away from the skin, which keeps feet fresher on warm days.
What's the difference between alpaca and merino?
Merino is a soft, fine wool from sheep and is well known for being comfortable and breathable. Alpaca is a silky fibre with a smooth feel and tiny air pockets that help with temperature balance. Together they make a sock that's soft, cosy and comfortable in more than one season.
Are alpaca socks suitable for people with wool sensitivities?
Baby alpaca is naturally lanolin-free, but this sock also contains merino wool, so it may not suit anyone with a specific lanolin or wool sensitivity. If you're unsure, check with your health professional.
Can I wear these socks all year round?
Yes. They're a crew sock that keeps your feet comfortable in cooler weather and breathes well when it's warm, so they work through every season.
Is the packaging environmentally friendly?
Yes. These socks come in compostable packaging.
