These Heavyweight Short Alpaca Socks are made with Pa grown Alpaca Fiber which gets spun, and is knitted by local mills right in our own state of Pennsylvania.

Why Our Alpaca Socks are Great

  • Our heavyweight socks have knit terry cushion, keeping feet warm, dry and comfortable
  • Comfortable to wear all throughout the year
  • Made of 70% Alpaca fiber / 10% Merino / 20% Nylon
  • Short style hits a bit above the ankle
  • Our alpaca socks wick away moisture, so your feet stay dry and odor-free

Alpaca Sock Care

Wash in cool water, gentle cycle, for best results, air dry.

These socks are durable and can be washed easily without excessive shrinkage or felting.

Good to Know

Alpaca socks have a lower percentage of shrinkage than socks made from other natural fibers. Because alpaca yarn has elasticity, alpaca socks may look smaller after washing but will return to their original size, to fit.

It is unnecessary to wash these socks after every wearing. The short style hits a bit above the ankle.

Before we wash our fiber, we blow out the dust! How much dust? This video shows how the dust and second cuts we miss during skirting come right out. Alpacas love to roll in a dust bath. Blowing out the fiber after skirting reduces the amount of water we use. It's that much less dust in our products and saves wear and tear on our equipment.

How to care for your alpaca fiber products

Alpaca Fiber Care Tips

  • Alpaca fiber is naturally antimicrobial, so it doesn't need to be washed often.
  • When it does need a good clean, wash on a gentle cool cycle (preferable a wool cycle if your machine has one) with a mild detergent, or hand wash.
  • For best results, turn your garment inside out before washing.
  • The best way to dry your alpaca garment is just to lay it out on a flat surface to air-dry.
