Vicuña socks

I haven't heard of those. Do they have soft tops? I wear bamboo socks because they are comfortable at the top and don't squeeze my legs like some socks do.

I like bamboo socks as well. Most of mine were from TK Maxx.
Except for the ones from Woolovers which are tight and squeeze my ankles although my ankles are quite slim!

Off to investigate vicuña.

Oh, alpaca yarn.
Someone near here produces alpaca socks.

Might be too warm for me

If your socks contain Alpaca they will fluff up. I bought an expensive Alpaca cardigan and only wore it a couple of times as it 'bobbled' badly. It wasn't even fit for giving to a Charity shop. I had to dispose of it in 'textiles'. I would never again purchase anything made with Alpaca.

Ah! I didn't work out that Vicuna is the same as Alpaca.
I once had an alpaca scarf and glove set, and when I washed them they were ruined and went out of shape.

Vicuña isn't the same as alpaca. Alpaca yarn is different in quality. I have alpaca jumpers and they are quite scratchy so can't be worn directly next to the skin. Vicuña wool is very soft, like good cashmere.

I bought the socks at a farm shop at Scotch Corner before xmas last year.

Oh. Thanks Baggs. My vicuna knowledge is very lacking!
