Alpaca Yarns Sox is an alpaca sock yarn with beautiful tonal colours and added nylon for strength and durability. It makes cosy hand knitted socks, but you can use it for shawls and garments too. Plus it is machine washable!
Alpaca Yarns Sox Easy Wash solves the question of how can I make socks with alpaca yarn? This super-soft and cosy yarn is a blend of 70% alpaca for warmth and 30% nylon for strength and durability. The alpaca has gone through a new sustainable process which makes it machine washable on a gentle cycle, and able to be popped in the dryer!
The yarn is kettle dyed, which gives the colours a tonal or semi-solid quality. They almost have a heathered appearance!
Perfect for socks, as well as shawls, accessories and garments. One ball will make a pair of socks for most sizes!

About the Sustainable Easy Wash process: Easy Wash is a sustainable anti-shrinkage treatment where enzymes eat part of the hair structure of the alpaca fibre that causes shrinkage. It is a sustainable and environmentally friendly process since no acids or hard chemicals are used that contaminate tributaries. Furthermore, the fibre is not covered with any resin, like it is done with the superwash wool treatment. Therefore the alpaca hair maintains all its natural characteristics.
