Frequently Asked Questions

What makes alpaca socks different?

Alpaca fibre is naturally temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic. Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca doesn't contain lanolin, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It's also softer than cashmere and more durable than standard wool.

How do I care for my alpaca socks?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colours. We recommend using a wool-safe detergent. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve the natural fibres.

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, simply return unworn items in their original packaging for a full refund or exchange.

Are your socks made in the UK?

Yes! All our socks are designed in Cambridge and manufactured in England using traditional knitting techniques. We work with local mills to ensure the highest quality craftsmanship.
