Smith + Rogue Women's Baby Alpaca Skookum Sock
No Alpacas Harmed in the Making
Ride the wide-open range with the softest, most rugged sock in the west. These socks are the real deal partner, made by our friends in Peru. Baby Alpaca fiber has little to do with the age of the animal. It has everything to do with the fineness, length, and color of the fiber, measured between 19-20 microns (like cashmere). The fiber in these socks has a close connection with the ancient practices of the Peruvian Highland Shepherds. Ancient Incan culture valued Alpaca, perhaps even more than gold, a fiber fit for royalty. You'll even find silk in these socks, really setting these apart.
Both Alpaca and Silk, a combination of the gods, is hypoallergenic, a great alternative for those allergic to lanolin found in merino wool. Alpaca is known for its many great qualities: natural and biodegradable, durable and stain resistant, odor resistant, insulates when wet, resists matting and pilling, wicks moisture, flame resistant (if you get to close to the campfire), lighter and warmer per gram compared to merino wool.
