Why Wearing Alpaca Socks Is Best

By Helga Stokes


If you have ever worn alpaca clothing before, you are already aware of how soft and comfortable these items are. Alpaca fleece is used in the manufacturing of many items, such as hats and gloves. Alpaca socks specifically are a great choice to wear on your feet for a lot of different reasons.

Items made from this material have only recently become popular in the clothing industry, but using the material to make clothing is actually an age old practice. For instance, in Peru, the villagers there have known the benefits it offers for many, many years. Clothing made from the material is common in the area due to its breathable properties that works well in warm weather conditions.

These types of socks are now much more common in other parts of the world as well. Sweaters and blankets made from the same material are also becoming very popular items. All have their own set of benefits, but socks have some very unique ones.

Socks made from this fleece are dense, but surprisingly breathable. This unique quality makes them warmer during cold weather than traditional choices. It also makes them a lot cooler during warm weather because the feet are not prone to so much sweating. Even when wet, this fleece can still efficiently provide both of these benefits, unlike ore traditional material options. This makes them perfect for wearing during many different types of activities, since wet feet will not have much of an effect.

The material is very durable, lasting a person's lifetime in many cases without looking worn out. The fibers in the material resist breakdown unlike cotton and wool do, when cared for correctly. In many countries, alpaca fleece clothing is passed from generation to generation because of their long life. A number of family members can all get great use from an item because it will not age and wear as quickly as other types of materials.

While cost of these types of socks is a bit more than traditional cotton, the value of them is well worth the price. The higher cost has a lot to do with sourcing of the material and the fact that it is not as common as more traditional materials that are used in manufacturing. However, the cost difference is not significant enough to make the unaffordable.

This fleece also provides a high level of comfort. Wool can often be pretty abrasive on the skin. Alpaca fleece is soft, almost silky, in feel. It is also naturally hypoallergenic, which reduces risk of skin reactions while wearing. This is a great choice for people that suffer from sensitive skin issues.

Alpaca socks come in a wide variety of options, with there being 22 different natural colors of the fleece available. Matching to clothing is easy with so many options to choose from. The comfort and high durability they offer also makes them a good choice for giving as gifts. Many people believe socks are not a great gifting choice, but their unique properties actually make them different than socks made from other types of materials.
