Alpaca Ankle Socks
Our alpaca ankle sock — the everyday workhorse. Finishing just above the anklebone, it's the go-to for daily wear, dog walks, and errands, giving coverage and cushioning without the bulk of a taller sock. A natural first pair for anyone new to alpaca.
Why alpaca?
- Naturally temperature-regulating — hollow-core fibres trap warmth in the cold and release heat when it's warm.
- Moisture-wicking — pulls sweat away from the skin to keep feet dry.
- Odour-resistant — naturally antimicrobial, so socks stay fresh even after hours of wear.
- Hypoallergenic & itch-free — lanolin-free alpaca is kind to sensitive skin, with none of the itch of sheep's wool.
- Lightweight warmth — serious insulation without the bulk, for all-day everyday wear.

Our socks are crafted from the finest natural fibres — including Alpaca, Merino, Mohair and Cashmere wool — chosen for their exceptional softness, warmth and durability. A small amount of polyamide (PA) is blended in for elasticity.
Alpaca and Cashmere styles should be hand washed in cool water; Mohair styles can be machine washed on a wool or delicate cycle at 30°C. Avoid fabric conditioner, bleach and tumble drying — always dry flat.
Our socks are ethically sourced and thoughtfully made, using premium natural fibres including Alpaca, Merino, Mohair and Cashmere wool. Discover more about where our fibres come from on our Our Fibres page.
