Salpaka Merino Wool Alpaca Marl Socks Royal Blue

Salpaka is an everyday sock in stylish royal blue with a vibrant orange stripe that can be worn with winter boots or as a lounge sock to keep your feet extra toasty during the colder months. Spun by Genevieve herself in the softest bright blue merino wool twisted with natural alpaca, these socks are incredibly soft and comfortable.

– 44% merino wool, 30% Alpaca 26% polyamide
– Made in Britain
– Hand wash or machine wash at 30 degrees on a wool cycle.

Knitted into the most beautiful sock by twisting together the softness and durability of merino wool with the luscious and warmth of Yorkshire spun alpaca. These socks are custom-spun by Genevieve herself to create a selection of unique colour blends; in this case, midnight blue merino wool with natural alpaca finished with bright red stripes.

To create the Salpaca sock, Genevieve approached a family-run mill based in Derbyshire. After spotting the unusable end-of-line yarns, decided to rescue them from simply being thrown away. Many of the yarns were small batches of discontinued colours, so Genevieve let her creativity run wild, twisting them together and producing unique blends out of otherwise wasted products. Twisting the yarns together can take hours and is something most factories wouldn’t have time for. Still, for Genevieve, it’s all about embracing the joy of slow manufacturing – and in doing so, creating something truly original and beautiful.

The Salpaka Stripe Sock ticks all the boxes: sharp, stylish and seriously comfortable. Let its striking mix of colours bring an uplifting finish to anything from traditional tailoring to casual jeans or joggers. This is the perfect sock that keeps you toasty as a bed or lounge sock but also durable to wear with your winter boots and keep your feet comfortable and warm.
