Our Shrink-Proof Alpaca Socks:
Michell, the Alpaca industry leader, continues to work hard to devlop new Alpaca yarns with unique characteristics for the textile industry worldwide.
Introducing Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca, an anti-shrinkage enzymatic treatment that allows the use of Alpaca yarns in new products that require machine washing. Very importantly, it is made in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
The characteristics of the new Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca yarns are:
- The natural character of the fiber is maintained, unlike eother treatments that cover the fiber in synthetic material
- We obtain a clearn (whiter) fiber compared to the yellowing acquired by other treatments
- All treatments are free of chlorine, resins, and sulfuric acid
- No harmful chemicals
- Oekotex, Blue Sign, and Reach certified
- Maximum shrinkage is only about 8%
Weight:
- Lightweight Flat Knit
- Heavyweight Terry
Adult Sizes (for both alpaca socks and local Mill Yarn socks):
- small
- medium
- large
Please note that there will be small differences in sock sizing due to variations in yarn color, batches and that the socks are made from natural fiber.
Styles:
- ankle (available in Lightweight flat knit) – at ankles
- short – just above the ankle
- crew – mid calf
- boot – just below the knee (available in Heavyweight terry)
Washing Instructions:
Wash in cool water, gentle cycle, then tumble or air dry. These socks are durable and can be washed easily without excessive shrinkage or felting.
Because alpaca yarn has elasticity, alpaca socks may look smaller after washing but will return to their original size, to fit.
Alpaca socks wick away moisture, so feet will stay dry and odor free. (It is unnecessary to wash these socks after every wearing)
