Warm thick merino socks and alpaca wool

Polyacrylic (50%)

Polyacryl (PAN) is a low-density synthetic fiber discovered in the 1940s, which is characterized primarily by its low weight and easy maintenance. It is very resistant to chemicals, but sensitive to high temperatures. Its texture is similar to wool and is also used as an additive to wool products. Polyacryl is less strong than other synthetic fibers, but has a low tendency to lint. Polyacrylic is the basic material in the production of imitation wool or fur.

Merino wool (25%)

Wool is a hollow natural fiber used for millennia to make warm clothes and household accessories. Renewable natural material ensures excellent thermal comfort, good absorbency and odorless clothing. Merino is a breed of domestic sheep valued for its fine wool. Merino wool has all the positive properties that are improved by using only extra fine sheep wool. Merino is very soft to silky to the touch, has excellent thermoregulatory properties, breathability, UV protection, antibacterial and anti-allergic effects. Merino wool can absorb moisture up to 30% of its volume. The moisture is easily heated in the wool, so there is no unpleasant, cool feeling when sweating. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, bacteria cannot easily multiply on wool fiber, so merino wool clothing does not smell even when worn for a long time. Thanks to these properties, merino wool is an excellent natural material used, for example, for socks, warm underwear, winter sweaters and wool scarves.

Polyamide (10%)

Polyamide is the name of a group of synthetic fibers. Like most man-made fibers, it is sensitive to high temperatures. Polyamide clothing is durable and dries quickly.

Alpaca (10%)

Product made of alpaca wool. Alpaca wool is a natural fiber that comes from the alpaca, a member of the camelid family. It is lustrous and soft, making it ideal for spinning into yarn and fabric. Alpaca wool is also lightweight, strong, and hypoallergenic. In addition to being used in traditional textile applications, alpaca wool has become popular in recent years as a material for making high-end clothing. The history of alpacas dates back to pre-Inca civilizations in South America. These ancient cultures prized the animals for their fine fleece, which was used to make clothing and other textiles. Today, most of the world’s alpacas are found in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. There are two types of alpacas: the huacaya, which has dense crimpy fibers, and the suri, whose fibers grow long and silky straight. Both huacaya and suri alpacas can be shorn once a year to yield about 2–3 kg of usable wool per animal annually. The alpaca’s coat grows in two layers. The coarse outer guard hair, which repels water and dirt, and the softer undercoat, which is made up of finer fibers. It’s the undercoat fiber that is harvested to make alpaca wool yarns and fabrics. Most commercial breeding programs focus on Huacaya alpacas because their fleeces are more desirable for spinning into yarn. Alpaca wool is similar to sheep’s wool in terms of its protein structure, but it lacks the lanolin that makes sheep’s wool itch when worn next to the skin. This makes alpaca wool garments much more comfortable to wear than those made from traditional sheep’s Wool fibers can be blended with other fibers such as cotton or silk to create fabrics with different properties.

Advantages of Alpaka:

• Hypoallergenic - suitable for people with sensitive skin
• Luxury natural fiber
• Light weight
• Extra warm
• Very soft

Polyester (3%)

Polyester is the most widely used synthetic fiber in the textile industry. Polyester clothing is durable and flexible. The most commonly used type of polyester is PET fibers, which is also used to make plastic bottles. A new trend is clothing made from recycled PET bottles.

Elastan (2%)

Elastane is a synthetic material that gives your clothes flexibility and elasticity. Thanks to the elastane, the clothes hold their shape and do not pull out so easily. Clothing with elastane easily adapts to the shape of your body. Elastane also appears on the market under various trade names, such as Lycra or Spandex.

Temperature class D (from -10 to -35 °C)

Extra warm socks suitable for polar winter with temperatures from -5 to -35 °C. Ideal as outdoor socks for winter sports and hiking.

Antibacterial silver

Socks with silver molecules to eliminate unpleasant odors. The socks with antibacterial silver are best used in work shoes, sports and activities requiring all-day wear of shoes. Antibacterial silver in socks prolongs wearing time without unpleasant odor. Silver eliminates selected bacteria or reduces the multiplication of bacteria causing the breakdown of sweat and thus reduces foot odor. Silver molecules (ions) are usually firmly attached to the fiber structure. This ensures the antimicrobial properties of the material throughout its life. There are many different solutions, depending on the specific manufacturer or patent used. Silver can be added to polypropylene fibers (eg silproX), PES fibers, but also other materials. However, the principle of effectiveness remains similar.

How to extend the life of your socks?

1. After cutting the toenails, always grind with a fine file! Sharp edges on the nails in combination with the wrong size of the shoes are the most common reason for piercing the socks in the toe. If you want sharp toenails, wear kevral socks, not cotton.
2. Do not wear socks in smaller sizes. You may wear them, but excessive tension on the knit reduces the life of the socks and makes them easier to wear.
3. Wear shoes in the correct size, which is at least 5mm larger than the size of your foot. The small size of the shoes causes more intensive contact of the sock with the shoe in the area of ​​the toe and heel, where the socks are subsequently abraded faster.
4. Quality socks in low quality shoes will not have a long life. Watch the wear of the inner parts of the shoes and change the shoes in time.
5. The perforation of the socks in the heel area is 80% caused by the abrasion of the sock against the worn (rough) inner part of the shoe.
6. Store the socks in the wardrobe in an unfolded state. The popular twisting of a pair of socks into a ball and fixing with the hem of one sock reduces the elasticity of the hems over time.
