wool for socks

So it is essential to choose the right fiber for your daily needs.

The different types of wool

Sheep's wool is accessible and easy to find, but can be very irritating to sensitive skin, tends to fluff and requires delicate care such as cold washing by hand.

Cashmere, which is very soft and light, but a fragile wool that requires meticulous care and can quickly shed if not properly cared for.

Mohair wool, derived from the Angora goat, is soft and light with a shiny appearance, but can be very prickly to sensitive skin and tends to lose its fibers, creating a fluffy effect.
Alpaca wool is a natural fiber derived from the alpaca, an animal that lives at an altitude of over 4,000 m in the Andes. Known as the wool of the gods, it has exceptional properties that make it ideal for socks. Unlike sheep's wool, which can be rough and irritating, alpaca wool is known for its silkiness and is often compared to cashmere for its delicate feel.

Alpaca wool is up to four times more resistant than sheep's wool, does not fluff and retains its new look longer, even after multiple washings. Contrary to certain preconceptions, alpaca line is easy to care for. It naturally repels odors and bacteria, so it does not need frequent washing. A simple cold wash with a mild detergent is sufficient to maintain its quality.

Alpaca wool not only provides intense warmth, but also adapts to your body temperature. So it keeps feet warm in winter without overheating in summer.
