WHY ALPACA SOCKS?
HELLE ALPACA SOCK
Helle is built for movement - from forest trails to mountain switchbacks and everything in between.
Made with a technical blend of alpaca fiber and performance yarns, this crew-length sock offers a snug, anatomical fit that stays in place, resists odours and wicks moisture away fast. With no cushioning and a slim silhouette, it's the perfect four-season liner sock – or a go-to for fast-paced hikes and demanding everyday use.
Softer and more breathable than merino, the Helle sock keeps your feet dry and blister-free even in long wear. Lightweight and low-profile, it works in everything from hiking boots to trail runners – wherever your day takes you.
Absorbs only about 10% of its weight in moisture, making it incredibly fast-drying. Wicks sweat away from your skin to prevent chafing and that sticky feeling. And even when soaked, alpaca keeps insulating – thanks to its natural air pockets.
Absorbs only ~10% moisture – dries fast
Wicks away sweat – no chafing, no clammy feel
Keeps warming even when wet

Frequently asked questions
Will my alpaca socks shrink when washed?
Not if you treat them right. Our alpaca socks are not pre-washed, so they may shrink slightly if washed incorrectly. We recommend washing them on a gentle wool cycle at 30 °C and letting them air dry flat.
NO tumble drying or high spin cycles, which can stress the fibers. If you wash them at 40 °C with regular laundry (which we don’t recommend), expect about one full EU size of shrinkage.
Is alpaca better than merino wool?
In nearly every core function of wool, alpaca out performs merino. It contains more microscopic air pockets within each fiber, which improves insulation without added weight. Compared to merino, alpaca wicks moisture more efficiently and absorbs significantly less water, meaning it dries faster and keeps you feeling dry during activity. It also naturally resists odours and is hypoallergenic – alpaca contains no lanolin, so it’s safe for those with wool sensitivity or allergies.
And because alpacas tread lightly – both literally and ecologically – their fiber is among the most sustainable on the planet: low water use, low impact grazing, and no harsh chemical treatments.
Unlike merino sheep, which are farm animals, alpacas are native to their environment and live in balance with the Andean ecosystem.
Can I return alpaca socks if they don’t feel ok after wearing them?
Yes. We want you to love your alpaca socks – and we know the perfect fit takes wearing them. That’s why we accept returns even if you’ve tested them, as long as they’re still in good condition.
Alpaca socks naturally mold to your feet, but if something feels off, don’t worry. You’ll find return instructions and full policy here.
No stress – just comfort.
My size is between two options – which one should I choose?
Go with the smaller size. Alpaca socks naturally mold to your feet over time, giving you a snug and secure fit. If the sock is too large, the heel may sit loose or bunch up – and that’s no good whether you’re walking, working, or exploring outdoors.
We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it with our size chart to find the best fit. A well-fitted sock performs better, lasts longer, and simply feels right.
After 40kms it smelled really weird, not the usual stinky feet, but a strange musky smell. Also felt sticky to the touch. Dries easily, but hardens a bit on the sole. Somewhat narrow, on my 42 feet (size is 41-43), would not recommend above feet size 42.
I ended up having to wear what had been my favorite socks (merino) over the weekend after a month of wearing nothing but your socks.
The difference was night and day. As soon as I got home I switched back to my nice yellow Helle 68s. What a relief.
I must admit, I hope to never wear any other socks in my life.
Nice socks, nice fit, nice height for winter boots
Really comfortable, not too thick, but I suggest to develop a lighter version, too. Suitable to cold weather but tested at 20°c without problems. Machine washable in my experience at 30°c even without a specific wool program.
Perfect

Ihanaa kun jalat pysyy kuivana ja lämpöisenä. Ei hikisyyttä tuntien käytön jälkeen. Tasainen lämpö ja pysyy paikoillaan pyörimättä.
