DESCRIPTION

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.

FAQS

Where are these socks made?
Crafted in Portugal, the United Kingdom's longest-serving military ally. The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance dates back to the Treaty of Windsor in 1386, and Portuguese mills are renowned for fine hosiery knitting.

What's the sock made from?
A 74% alpaca blend, with the remainder nylon and spandex for stretch, shape retention and durability.

Will my feet overheat in these indoors?
No – alpaca's hollow-core fibres are naturally temperature-regulating, so they keep feet warm in the cold and comfortable when it's mild, making the ankle sock a genuine everyday, all-season pair.

Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Alpaca contains no lanolin, so it's naturally hypoallergenic and free of the itch associated with traditional sheep's wool.

I'm between sizes – what should I do?
Size up for a more relaxed fit, or size down for a snugger one. See our Sizing tab above for the full UK size breakdown.

Do they need washing after every wear?
Not necessarily – alpaca is naturally odour-resistant and antimicrobial, so these ankle socks stay fresh for longer than a typical cotton sock.
