This sock is knitted in Small, Medium and Large only - there is no X-Large. Small is a women's size, with no men's equivalent. All figures are shoe sizes, not foot length.

Between sizes? Alpaca has plenty of give. Take the smaller size for a closer fit, the larger one if you wear them inside boots.

Roughly half merino, a quarter alpaca.

47% fine merino, 28% baby alpaca. The most merino-led sock we sell, and we would rather say so up front.

No elastic bite.

The top is knitted without tight elastic. It stays up without leaving a ring round your leg.

19 micron merino.

Fine enough to sit well under the roughly 30 micron mark where wool starts to prickle. Sourced from graziers in southern NSW.

Knitted in Australia.

Very few socks still are. This one is.

Not a work sock.

Superb in a shoe, poor in a steel-cap. Better you hear it from us.

Sizing.

Small is a women's size (AU/US 5–7) and has no men's equivalent. Medium is women's 7.5–9 or men's AU 6–7.5. Large is women's 9.5–10.5 or men's AU 8–10.5. Between sizes? Take the smaller size for a closer fit.

Product details

Small batch. We keep a few pairs on hand and bring the rest in from the mill in Victoria — allow up to 10 days if your size has just gone.

47% fine merino wool, 28% Peruvian baby alpaca, 22% nylon, 2.5% lycra, 0.5% polyester. Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry.

Not sure which sock? We publish the fibre content of every pair we sell, side by side, in our guide to the best alpaca socks in Australia — including which one has the most alpaca in it, and why that isn't always the best sock.

Why Alpaca Fleece is a Smart Investment

Insulative

Naturally warm, lightweight and breathable, keeping you comfortable across seasons.

Low Lanolin

Alpaca carries very little lanolin, which is the part of sheep's wool a lot of people react to, and at the same micron it sits smoother against the skin.

Dries Faster

Alpaca takes up less moisture than sheep's wool, around 8 percent regain against roughly 16, so it feels less clammy through the day and dries faster afterwards.

Eco-Friendly

Alpaca fiber is an eco-friendly choice. It is a renewable and biodegradable material that requires very little processing to produce.

Built to Last

Designed as slow-fashion essentials, these pieces resist trends and can last for decades with proper care.
