What is a cocooning environment ?

A cocooning environment is a symbol of comfort, well-being, cosiness and relaxation. It is an environment in which one feels good and relaxed. Since the health crisis, confinement and the advent of teleworking, lifestyles have changed. Time spent at home has increased dramatically, which is why this cocooning trend has been adopted. Our home has become our place of work, our place of relaxation and our entire life. In this situation, feeling good at home has become an obligation. People have adopted a cocooning lifestyle, i.e. living in an environment of softness, comfort and well-being. 

How to create a cocooning environment ?

A comfortable outfit in which one feels good, a sober and uncluttered decoration that inspires calm and comfort but also a restful and optimistic state of mind. Cocooning is the search for extreme well-being, relaxation and comfort.

Where does cocooning come from ?

The word cocooning comes from the word cocoon. A cocoon is originally a "silky envelope that the caterpillars of certain lepidopterans spin into a chrysalis". It is a place in which one feels particularly at peace. Being in one's cocoon has become an expression that conveys a feeling of personal well-being in a restricted environment. Cocooning is therefore the fact of feeling so good at home, or in a place, that you can stay there for hours without wanting to leave or go anywhere else. The word was coined in 1987 because researchers noticed that a trend of staying at home for comfort was developing. More and more people are creating a comforting environment that makes them feel good about their home, in order to be satisfied with where they live.

Creating a cocooning environment is very easy to do. Cocooning encompasses several sensations and feelings. Firstly, the feeling of warmth. Being in a cocooning environment means that our body should feel good and therefore not too hot or too cold. When we are wrapped in a duvet, a cosy blanket or a warm blanket, we are in our cocoon and in a cocooning environment.
It is also necessary to develop a state of mind in line with this cocooning context. We need to feel calm, say no to stress and worries, feel good at home, forget about problems, enjoy our family and friends and focus on our personal well-being.

How to care for your alpaca socks ?

Good care of these alpaca socks is essential to keep them as cosy as possible.

You can easily wash your alpaca socks in the washing machine on the wool programme or at 30 degrees with the rest of your clothes. For optimal care you can opt to use a good gentle shampoo for alpaca wool, with the smallest possible amount of detergent.

You should not neglect these care tips because poor care can damage your cocooning alpaca wool socks. You can find different types of natural products on our BellePaga website, which are suitable for all types of delicate wools.

Alpaca wool items are not suitable for the dryer under any circumstances! Place your wool socks on a towel, so that it absorbs the excess water and your item dries faster. Air dry flat to avoid stretching the fibres.

These cocooning socks made of alpaca wool do not pilling with each wash, unlike cashmere or sheep's wool. This means that your socks will stay as good as new for many years.

Finally, BellePaga uses natural dyes derived directly from the animal's wool or from mineral pigments, which are much more resistant than chemical dyes and much more environmentally friendly. Of course, natural colours do not fade over time.
