Tired of wandering the aisles in the big box stores looking for a gift that is unique and useful? We have the perfect gift to keep your loved ones warm this winter...Alpaca Socks from Alpaca Direct. We're excited to announce the arrival of our new Alpaca Socks made with Alpacor. These socks set a new bar in what you can expect in a warm, durable and versatile sock.

What makes Alpaca Direct "Alpacor" socks so special?

Alpacor socks are created through a patented process for the yarn manufacturing process that blends the finest Alpaca fibers with other natural and synthetic fibers. This new yarn allows us to create unique performance socks with unequaled qualities.

• Fully machine washable

• Naturally breathable with superior heat retention

• Naturally transports moisture away from the foot

• Does not retain odor

• Actually cooling in the summer and warm in the winter

• Superior versatility for all sports and active lifestyles

• Has natural compression

Once you try our socks on a cold winter day you'll be amazed at how your toes stay warm and how being outside can actually be fun! We offer Alpaca Socks in more than 30 styles and colors with the largest selection in the USA so swing by our store or visit our website and try a pair for yourself or give them to someone who could use a little warmth in their boots.

Alpaca slippers are the perfect pairing to your new socks

Who can resist a plush pair of slippers? Our traditional indoor boot slippers are handmade with sheepskin and merino wool inside and layered with 100 percent super soft Alpaca Fur around the tops. These slippers have been a favorite footwarmer for our clients around the world. They are handcrafted by a small artisans workshop in the Peruvian city of Arequipa. We had the opportunity to visit the workshop last year and we work with the artisans each year to create quality products using age-old traditional techniques handed down from prior generations.

We hope you will get a chance to stop by and see all the unique items we have to help keep you warm this winter. You will find unique gifts like our Handmade stuffed Alpacas and Teddy Bears or unique handcrafted Alpaca scarves and shawls...and of course a huge selection of yarn and fiber for the fiber artist in your family.
