Alpasoft Sock offers a new standard in luxury sock yarn with our Easy-Wash Superfine Alpaca blend. Spun from 75% superfine alpaca and 25% nylon, this yarn offers exceptional softness paired with the durability needed for long-lasting wear.

Unlike traditional superwash yarns, this base is treated using a gentler enzyme-based easy-wash process – completely avoiding chlorine bleach. The result is a more environmentally friendly yarn that retains the natural beauty and handle of alpaca while still being machine washable (on a wool cycle).

With 400m per 100g skein (Nm 4/16), this versatile base is ideal for creating sumptuously soft, ultra-warm socks, while also lending itself beautifully to shawls, garments, and accessories. The superfine alpaca provides a smooth, luxurious surface that takes dye well, allowing for rich, saturated colourways and excellent tonal variation.

Perfect if you’re looking for a premium, high-performance base that combines softness, warmth, and great dye uptake – without compromising on ease of care.

About our recycled nylon
Made from recycled materials like fabric scraps and old fishing nets, our recycled nylon offers the same strength and durability as regular nylon – just with a lower environmental impact. It’s hard-wearing, long-lasting, helps reduce waste, and conserves energy.
