Why Should Alpaca Socks Be Your First Option?

Alpaca Socks are highly popular, and this is certainly not by chance. Alpaca fiber has several unique properties that make it ideal for all-season socks. After you're done reading this blog, I'm certain that you'll come to the conclusion that wearing Alpaca Socks is the smartest thing you can do to keep your feet healthy and comfortable.

And because we understand that picking the right Alpaca Socks for your particular needs can be difficult with all of the styles available, we have come up with some key considerations you must be aware of before making a decision.

But first, I'd like to introduce some of the benefits that make Alpaca fiber the perfect fabric for any pair of socks:

- Hypoallergenic:

Since alpaca does not contain lanolin, it is inherently hypoallergenic. Even people with sensitive skin can wear alpaca items all day without the fear of getting redness or irritation.

- Odor Reduction:

If you've ever experienced smelly feet, Alpaca Socks will be your new best friend. Alpaca Wool wicks humidity away from the skin, and in doing so, it significantly lowers the possibility of bad smells.

- Durability:

You do not have to worry about this beautiful fabric getting ruined. This fiber's resilience lends itself to a superb, long-lasting product in clothes like socks, sweaters, etc. Also, socks made of other fabrics may be more affordable, but they accumulate and retain moisture, causing your feet colder and more prone to blistering.

- Unmatched softness and warmth:

The diameter of the raw fiber is measured in microns. We pay special attention to this since micron count has a significant impact on fiber quality and softness. Alpaca fiber has one of the lowest micron counts. The lower the micron count utilized in the sock, the softer it is. Since it is considered a hollow fiber, it traps heat and provides superior insulation in comparison to other Natural Fibers.

How to pick the pair that best suits your needs:

In terms of function, the quality of Alpaca Socks varies widely based on their intended application. Hence why we've sourced our socks from multiple Peruvian brands that use different compositions in their products.

We offer a variety of options depending on which activity you plan on doing. Also keep in mind that all of our Alpaca Socks are knitted with a flexible blend of Natural Fibers and can adapt to warm or cold environments while wicking moisture outwards and resisting odor formation, keeping you dry and comfortable in all conditions.
