Our alpaca socks, you can machine wash & dry.
Alpaca fiber has stronger tensile strength than wool.
Alpaca regulates with your body temperature, you won’t sweat in socks.
The Alpaca is an animal that has been bred to a more extreme climate ….in the high Andes where Alpacas originated, they can experience temps anywhere on average from -30 degree F, to above 100 degrees with super intense U.V., and in the paramo levels lots of rain/snow and moisture at times, but in other places desert like. The Alpaca's "wool" developed to be able to handle all these and keep the animal alive and in relative comfort.
Alpaca is more innately "eco" friendly to the environment than sheep are.
