CARE GUIDE FOR ALPACA WOOL SOCKS

Alpaca Socks Care
Keep your alpaca socks soft, durable, and comfortable for years to come by following these simple care instructions. We include detailed care guidance with each pair of socks, but here’s everything you need to know to prevent shrinkage, avoid pilling, and maintain the natural performance of alpaca fiber.

Yes, our alpaca wool socks are machine washable!
Unlike many other natural fibers, our alpaca blend socks are easy to care for with a few precautions.

Washing Alpaca Socks

  • Machine wash in cool water — up to 85°F (30°C) — using a mild detergent or wool-safe soap.
  • Use the delicate or gentle cycle to minimize agitation.
  • Avoid chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the natural fibers and reduce moisture-wicking performance.
  • When washing alpaca wool socks, do not wash with rough items like denim or items that bleed color. Washing alpaca socks with jeans may cause staining or abrasion.

Drying Alpaca Socks

  • For best results and longer sock life, air dry your alpaca socks: lay flat to dry on a clean towel or hang them to dry naturally.
  • If you’re in a hurry, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting, but limit this to occasional use to preserve the shape and elasticity.

Additional Alpaca Socks Care Tips

  • Turn socks inside out before washing to reduce pilling and preserve the softness of the outer surface.
  • When washing alpaca socks, wash socks with similar colors to avoid dye transfer.
  • Store alpaca socks clean and dry, folded flat—not stretched or rolled—to help maintain their shape.

WHY GENTLE CARE MATTERS

Alpaca wool is a luxurious, natural fiber known for its softness, warmth, and hypoallergenic qualities. Proper alpaca socks care ensures your alpaca wool socks retain their breathable, temperature-regulating properties and last for many seasons.
