Alpaca Socks & Footwear

Alpaca Socks from Cadbury Alpacas

Alpaca Socks have health benefits - the hollow fibres resist moisture, making them an ideal choice for those suffering from fungal foot infections. The remarkable insulating properties are also popular for those with circulatory problems. The lack of lanolin makes them suitable for people with sensitive skin.

These socks are a perfect choice whether you love the great outdoors or prefer to indulge in your home comforts with this luxurious natural fibre against your skin.

Why Should I Choose Alpaca Socks?

Alpaca fibre is superior to synthetic materials as it is breathable and it can absorb moisture away from the body to regulate body temperature no matter the weather, retaining its warmth even when wet, plus it's naturally windproof, odour resistant, antibacterial and stain-resistant. For those with skin sensitivities or diabetes, alpaca wool is both soft and lightweight. Some of the main benefits of choosing alpaca socks include:

Wear for a Week or More

• Before washing as it is naturally thermo-regulating and antibacterial, meaning your feet won't sweat or smell.

Luxuriously Warm with Thermo-Regulating Properties

• Deliciously warmer than sheep's wool, yet cool in the summer. Alpaca fibre maintains a constant temperature gradient because it is a hollow fibre trapping the right temperature next to your skin and allowing you to breathe, not sweat. Alpaca fleece is delicate, and light does not retain water, is a thermal insulator even when wet and resists solar radiation.

Hypoallergenic

• Alpaca is lanolin-free as natural oils are not needed to trap warmth as with lambswool – the smooth hollow fibres do it all, therefore being ideal for those with allergies, eczema and sensitive skin.

Soft

• Alpaca fibres have a smoother scale surface than lambswool resulting in a low itch factor and making it far softer than lambswool, comparable to cashmere.

Healthy

• Some of the health benefits are that those with asthma love the absence of dust mites. Babies and those with allergies and eczema love the lack of lanolin in our knitwear. The bedding can help reduce night sweats, osteopaths recommend the pillows, and our socks are perfect for preventing and helping treat fungal foot infections like athletes feet.

Durable

• Alpaca fibre is unashamedly solid and stable. It has been found in ancient Peruvian burial sites in remarkable condition, with even the original colours intact after two and a half millennia.

Moisture Resistant

• Alpaca fibre wicks moisture away from the skin and is naturally water repellent. It can still keep you warm even when wet if you are caught in a rainstorm, for example. It is also breathable and thermo-regulates, thus reducing sweat: the perfect property for socks, hats, babywear and bedding in particular.

Natural and Sustainable

• No synthetic manufacturing process. Alpacas are gentle on the land, so there is a minimal environmental impact. We love our alpacas, so our products are all cruelty-free.

Antibacterial and Hypoallergenic

• Bacteria thrive in moist environments – alpaca fleece maintains a dry climate due to the hollow fibres allowing free air circulation. This moisture resistance, alongside the absence of natural oils and lanolin, means that dirt and grime cannot stick as quickly. This also prevents dust mites which can trigger allergies.

Easy to Clean

• As alpaca is water, grime and odour repellent and free of lanolin, it does not require cleaning as often as other textiles. Knitwear and socks can be easily washed with a gentle non-biological detergent on a cool wash or dry cleaned. Our fur can even be brushed clean as grime finds it hard to stick in the absence of lanolin. Bedding can be dry cleaned but repels dirt, so it lasts a long time between cleans. A convenient fibre refresh service is also available for bedding.

Hand-washing is the gentlest method of cleaning an Alpaca garment and will add years to the life of your Alpaca clothing. However, our socks are machine washable (30 degrees C), except for the hand-knitted alpaca socks. To extend the life of your socks, we highly recommend you avoid a fast spin, using biological detergent or put them in the dryer and instead let them air dry.

Are our alpaca socks itchy?

No. Alpaca fibres have a smoother surface than lambswool, resulting in a low itch factor and making it far softer than lambswool, comparable to cashmere.
