Warmth, Comfort & Natural Fibre for Canadian Winters
If you've ever stepped outside on a Canadian winter morning, you know there's cold… and then there's "PEI-wind-off-the-Gulf" cold.
That's exactly why alpaca socks have become a favourite across the country. They're warm, breathable, naturally odour-resistant, and unbelievably comfortable.
At Green Gable Alpacas, we offer alpaca socks we trust with our own toes. Truly... my staff and I wear them pretty much every day, even in the summer. They’re that comfortable, and that reliable in real Canadian weather.
Why Canadians Choose Alpaca Socks
1. Warmer Than Wool — Without the Itch
Alpaca fibre contains microscopic hollow cores that act like tiny insulation chambers. This keeps heat in and cold out far more effectively than sheep’s wool... and without the scratchiness.
2. Naturally Odour-Resistant
Alpaca fibre wicks moisture away and stays fresh even after repeated wear. Many customers say, “I can wear them multiple days in a row and they don’t smell.”
3. Breathable & Temperature-Regulating
Unlike synthetic socks that trap moisture, alpaca keeps feet dry and comfortable. Warm when it's cold, cool when you're active.
4. Lightweight but Incredibly Warm
Because the fibre is naturally insulating, alpaca socks don’t need to be heavy or bulky to perform. Your feet stay cozy... and your boots still fit properly.
5. Hypoallergenic
Alpaca contains no lanolin, making it a great choice for people with wool sensitivities.
