The content is a bit long, don't be offended. Alpaca socks are becoming more and more popular for their excellent moisture wicking properties, heat retention and abrasion resistance, making them the first choice for those who seek warm and cozy socks. At Clohill, we strictly control all aspects of the raw materials, fine knitting, high pressure molding and packaging processes to produce the best alpaca socks for everyone. Next, let's come to the core benefits of alpaca socks:

Moisture wicking performance

Alpaca wool has natural hollow fibers, and these fibers exist in the form of axially thin tubular cavities that can quickly absorb and expel sweat from the body. The volume of the columnar cavities of alpaca wool fibers is much larger than the fine tubes on the surface of cotton and the solid fibers similar to wool, which is the principle behind the strong moisture wicking performance of the best alpaca wool socks.

Thermal insulation

As alpaca wool is as fine as 17 microns and there is a natural scaly waterproof layer on the surface of alpaca wool fibers, the waterproof performance is so strong that it can stop the penetration of external water in a short period of time, while if there is a small amount of water seepage, the alpaca wool socks can be discharged through the hollow fibers so as to keep your feet dry and warm. In addition, alpaca wool socks store the heat generated by the body in the hollow fibers and keep the cold outside air out.

Abrasion resistance

Clohill alpaca socks are trimmed from the best quality alpaca in Peru, after the process of removing the coarse hair and selecting the fine fibers that are neatly arranged, then a series of extension and thwarting twisting is carried out to increase the twisting of the alpaca fibers, and then through the production of merging and twisting, so as to further improve the strength of the alpaca yarn, coupled with the characteristics of the alpaca fibers themselves which are fine and long, this is why the alpaca yarn has the best strength and wear-resisting properties. Reason. As the raw material itself has strong abrasion resistance and elasticity, the socks are further compressed through advanced sock production techniques to increase density and improve abrasion resistance, thus compiling the best alpaca socks. It can withstand prolonged use without worrying about wear and tear.

Anti-odor

Since alpaca socks are made from mostly alpaca wool, the alpaca fibers have extremely strong antimicrobial properties that allow odors to collect, and even after wearing alpaca socks for long periods of time, it ensures that air circulates through your feet and reduces the production of bacteria and fungus. This makes alpaca socks the most suitable socks for hiking and mountaineering activities.
