Alpaca is a hollow core fiber that acts like little insulator tubes around your feet. The cold air gets trapped in the inner core of the fiber and keeps your feet nice and toasty. This natural insulation ability allows alpaca to keep your feet up to 3 times warmer than wool.

Because Alpaca does not contain lanolin, it is a naturally hypoallergenic fiber. Wool has lanolin, a sticky substance that attracts all kinds of stuff...like the stuff you're allergic too.

There's nothing like slipping your feet into a soft, luxurious alpaca sock. What a great way to start your day. Alpaca fiber is normally around 20-23 microns in diameter while sheep's wool is between 35-45 microns. The thin, lightweight alpaca fiber feels dreamy soft compared to wool.

Let's face it. Alpacas are just too cute and the world is better place with alpacas in our pastures. Let's make sure they stay employed and live happy lives while growing their fleece each year to keep our feet warm.
