Ladies Stripey Alpaca Socks

About Alpaca

After 16 years in the business, our knowledge of the quality and care of our alpaca yarns is second to none.

Alpaca improves with age. Our products will not always feel as soft and supple when new as they will with continued wear.

A cool handwash (30º) with a mild detergent such as baby shampoo is recommended. Wash for no more than 5 minutes. Rinse in lukewarm water, always pressing, not wringing the fabric. Wrap the item in a clean dry towel to absorb excess moisture.

While it is possible to machine wash some of our garments on a 30º cool wash cycle, we cannot guarantee the result, because the make and condition of different washing machines varies too much!

However, if you do wish to use this method for some of our smaller and less delicate items, we recommend you turn the product inside out and place in a gauze laundry bag. We recommend that you don’t put them in a tumble dryer as this can cause them to shrink.
