Salpaka Merino Wool Alpaca Marl Socks Red Tipping

Salpaka red is an everyday sock with deep blue tipping 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 vibrant red 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, a vibrant red merino wool with natural alpaca finished with deep blue tipping.

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 sock is cosy 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.
