I can't wear ordinary wool socks, they prickle. The alpaca is as soft as a cardigan – I wear them day and night.
Dog walk at minus fifteen and no cold toes. And no sweaty feet when I get back in, either.
We went for the eight-pack. Nobody fights over the socks any more – everyone has their own colour.
Lovelle Alpaca are rib-knit wool socks that make winter a little kinder to your feet. The yarn is 52% alpaca wool, 40% wool and 8% nylon – 92% natural wool fibres in all, which insulate, breathe and wick moisture away, so your feet stay warm and dry instead of cold and clammy.
Alpaca fibre is finer and smoother than many coarser wools, and it contains no lanolin. That's why the socks feel soft on the skin – even if you usually find wool scratchy. The nylon makes them hard-wearing and helps them keep their shape.
The knit has no shaped heel, so the sock follows your foot across the whole size range. For cosy evenings on the sofa, cold nights, chilly office floors, walking boots and ski chalets – for women and men alike, in five colours.

My feet are always cold, even indoors with underfloor heating. The white ones are on me on the sofa every evening now, and my toes are warm for the first time in several winters. So soft I hardly notice they're wool.
Light grey in 36–40 and I'm a UK 5 – fits perfectly. I wear them as bed socks and I no longer wake up in the night with cold feet. Not sweaty under the duvet either, which I'd been worried about.
Dark grey in my Chelsea boots on the walk to work on a bitter January morning. Warm the whole way and not the slightest bit clammy when I got into the office. I've ordered two more pairs.
Got the eight-pack before Christmas. Put three pairs in a gift box for my mum, two for my father-in-law and kept the rest myself. Mum rang the next day to say thank you – she'd slept in them.
I can't wear ordinary wool socks, they itch until I'm going mad. Alpaca is completely different – as soft as a cardigan. I have Light grey and White and wash them on the wool programme, and they're still just as lovely.

Alpaca fibre insulates like few others and lets moisture out instead of trapping it. The result: feet that stay warm out in the snow and don't get sweaty when you come back inside.

Stays up without squeezing – no marks round your leg when you take them off.
-
Rib-knit leg
A thick, airy rib that traps warmth and still breathes.
-
No shaped heel
The knit follows your foot across the whole size range, so it fits comfortably on a 36 and a 40 alike.

The foot: warm and dry
Alpaca wicks moisture away from your foot – so it still feels warm after a whole day in boots.
Finding your size takes ten seconds – it's your shoe size.
Warm feet, real people
My first winter without cold feet
“I've had cold feet my whole life. Now I keep Light grey at home and Black in my boots – and I'm not cold any more.”
Linda, HarrogateVerified purchase
Wool that doesn't itch
“I thought wool always prickled. The alpaca is so soft I sleep in them. I've bought pairs for my mum and my sister too.”
Claire, ShrewsburyVerified purchase
Dry feet all day on the hill
“Ten hours deer stalking in sub-zero temperatures. My feet were warm and dry when I pulled my boots off. The best socks I've ever had.”
Duncan, InvernessVerified purchase
Wool that feels like a hug
The alpaca keeps you warm. The softness means you'll want them on all the time.
-

Alpaca fibre is fine, smooth and lanolin-free – soft even on sensitive skin.
-
Breathes and stays dry
Moisture-regulating and temperature-regulating – warm outdoors, not sweaty indoors.
-
Follows your foot
No shaped heel, and 8% nylon that holds its shape wash after wash.
Your size is your shoe size
No tape measure needed. Two sizes cover EU shoe sizes 36 to 46 – and the knit, with no shaped heel, follows your foot within the range.

Choose the range
36–40 fits most women's feet, 41–46 most men's feet.

In between?
If you're an EU 40–41: take 41–46 for a longer leg, 36–40 for a snugger fit.

Size by shoe size
| Size | Usually fits | UK |
|---|---|---|
| 36–40 | Women | UK 3–6½ |
| 41–46 | Men | UK 7–11 |
You wear a UK 5 (EU 38). That falls within 36–40 – so size 36–40.
- On a smaller foot within the range the leg comes a little higher up the calf – on a larger foot it sits a little lower.
- The knit has no shaped heel, so the heel always ends up in the right place.
- Not sure? Message us with your shoe size and we'll recommend a size.
A colour for every moment
The same soft alpaca and fit in all of them. Mix freely in your bundle – black for your boots, white for the sofa.
Black
Black – discreet in boots and work shoes, goes with everything.
Light grey
Light grey – soft and pale, perfect for cosy evenings and bedtime.
Dark grey
Dark grey – a deep marl that looks smart above the top of your boots.
White
White – a natural creamy white, lovely for lazy days on the sofa.
Brown
Brown – a warm chocolate shade with a log-cabin feel.
Tip: In the 5- and 8-pair bundles every pair can have its own colour and size – perfect when the whole family needs warm feet.
Lovelle Alpaca vs what's already in your drawer
The comparison is with ordinary sheep's wool socks and ordinary cotton socks from budget chains.
One pair on. One in the drawer.
Two pairs for the price of one – or take 5 or 8 pairs for an even lower price per pair. Mix colours and sizes freely, and share with someone who feels the cold.

Soft for many winters
Alpaca is hard-wearing – with a little care in the wash, the socks keep their softness, warmth and shape year after year.
-
Turn inside out
This protects the surface and keeps the sock smooth and neat for longer.
-
Wool programme, 30 °C
Wash gently with a mild wool detergent. No fabric softener or bleach.
-
No tumble dryer
Gently press the water out in a towel – don't wring.
-
Air dry flat
Lay the socks on a towel or a drying rack. Ready for the next cold morning.
Tip: Air them rather than wash them. Wool is self-cleaning – hang the socks up overnight and they're fresh again.


The present that actually gets used
Everyone knows someone with cold feet. A pair of alpaca socks is the kind of present that's on their feet the same evening – and stays there all winter.
Take a 5- or 8-pair bundle, give a few pairs away and keep the rest for yourself. Each pair comes in its own paper band, ready to wrap.
Soft, warm and personal – without having to guess someone's jumper size.

I work outdoors on building sites all winter. The black ones in 41–46 inside my work boots keep the warmth in all day, and my feet are dry when I pull the boots off. Ordering more for the whole crew.
Dark grey 41–46 for our ski trip to the Alps. Ski boots all day and then straight onto the sofa in the chalet. Warm, dry and they don't smell. The whole family wanted their own.
Cold stone floor in the office and I was always freezing. The black ones don't show under my trousers and my feet are warm all day. Colleagues have started asking where I got them.
I'm a UK 10 and went for 41–46. Comfortable, and they don't slip down in my boots. My wife pinched two of my pairs, so now I'm ordering again.
Brown ones in the cowshed first thing in the morning. My old wool socks itched and felted, these are soft and have kept their shape. Buying more for the winter.
Gave white ones to my nan, who's turning 86. She wears them every day and has asked for another pair. She says they're warmer than the ones she used to knit herself.

Brown in 41–46 for deer stalking in the Highlands. Ten hours on the hill below freezing and my feet were warm right through. I've tried most things – these are the best.
Bought white ones for my mum, who's 84 and always has cold feet. She says they're the most comfortable socks she's ever had and she doesn't need to wear two pairs any more.
Dark grey 41–46 for our ski trip to the Alps. Ski boots all day and then straight onto the sofa in the chalet. Warm, dry and they don't smell. The whole family wanted their own.
I'm a UK 4 and was worried 36–40 would be too big, but the sock has no shaped heel so it fits well anyway. The leg comes up a little higher, which is just extra cosy.
Brown for early-morning dog walks at minus fifteen. Under lined wellies, these are the only thing that works for me. Lovely warm colour too.
Cold stone floor in the office and I was always freezing. The black ones don't show under my trousers and my feet are warm all day. Colleagues have started asking where I got them.
I've washed the white ones at least ten times on the wool programme now. No bobbling, no shrinking and just as soft. Really good quality for the price.

Black ones on a winter hike in the Peak District, with a long lunch stop on a frozen tor. Sat still for well over an hour and my feet were absolutely fine. That says a lot.
Pregnant and my feet are freezing every evening. Light grey in bed has saved my nights. Soft, warm and nice that they don't feel tight.
Brown ones in the cowshed first thing in the morning. My old wool socks itched and felted, these are soft and have kept their shape. Buying more for the winter.
Old cottage with draughty wooden floors. White alpaca socks and slippers, and I'm not cold any more. They look so pretty too, almost too nice to walk about in.
Dark grey in my boots for the commute. Freezing on the platform and warm on the train, and my feet are comfortable the whole way. No sweat, no smell.
Eight-pack in black for the whole family, two sizes mixed. The teenagers refused at first, but now they nick mine. Good price per pair.
I've bought wool socks at Christmas markets for years, but they've always prickled. The brown Lovelle Alpaca are genuinely soft. I wish I'd found them sooner.
I've had cold feet since I was a boy. Light grey in 41–46 at home and I've stopped sitting on my feet on the sofa. Recommended.
Gave white ones to my nan, who's turning 86. She wears them every day and has asked for another pair. She says they're warmer than the ones she used to knit herself.
Dark grey for standing on the touchline coaching under-sevens football in November. Two hours in the cold and my feet are warm. Best thing I've bought this autumn.
Black in my winter shoes for my job at the nursery. Out in the playground all morning and my feet stay warm. Soft and comfortable indoors too.
Minus fifteen up here with the wind off the sea. Brown in 41–46 under my hunting boots and my toes haven't been cold once this winter. Brilliant product.
Fantastic socks, soft and warm. The only reason for four stars is that I'd love to see even more colours – I want a green one too!
The socks get full marks, warm and comfortable. One star off because the parcel sat at the pickup point all weekend before I got the notification. Nothing wrong with Lovelle.
I took 36–40 even though I'm an EU 41 – the guide said 41–46. The exchange was easy and now they fit perfectly. Warm and soft.
The socks themselves are great, but the courier left the parcel outside the door in a snowstorm and the box was soaked. The socks were fine and customer service were lovely when I got in touch.
Common questions about the alpaca socks
Can't find the answer? Drop us a message – we're happy to help you choose a size.
No, not for most people. Alpaca fibre is finer and smoother than many coarser wools and contains no lanolin, so the socks feel soft on the skin – even if you usually find wool scratchy.
Your size is your EU shoe size: 36–40 fits most women's feet and 41–46 most men's feet. The sock has no shaped heel and follows your foot. If you're an EU 40–41, choose 41–46 for a longer leg or 36–40 for a snugger fit.
No. Wool fibres breathe and wick moisture away from your foot, so you stay warm outside and don't get sweaty indoors. That's exactly what sets wool apart from synthetics and cotton.
Yes. With 92% natural wool fibres the socks insulate well – in boots in the snow, on a ski trip, out on the hill and on cold floors indoors. They stay warm even if they get a little damp.
Absolutely. They're made for everyday wear as much as for winter days. Lots of people wear them as bed socks, because they keep you warm without getting hot and clammy.
Alpaca wool comes from the alpaca, ordinary wool from sheep. Alpaca fibre is lanolin-free, light, soft and insulating. Lovelle Alpaca blends 52% alpaca with 40% wool and 8% nylon for warmth, softness and durability.
Choose 2 pairs and pay for 1. With the 5- and 8-pair bundles the price per pair drops even further. The discount is applied automatically in your basket – no code needed.
Yes. In the bundle you choose a colour and size for every pair – the free pairs too. Perfect if there are a few of you sharing.
Wash gently at 30 °C, ideally on a wool programme with a mild wool detergent. Avoid the tumble dryer – air dry flat, and the socks will keep their softness, shape and warmth for longest.
We ship within 48 hours and you'll get a tracking number by email as soon as your parcel is on its way.
Not if you follow the care advice. Wool can felt at high temperatures and in a tumble dryer – on a wool programme at 30 °C and air dried, they keep their size. The nylon helps them hold their shape.
You have 30 days to return unworn pairs. Drop us a message and we'll swap them for the right size, or give you your money back. Try one pair and keep the packaging for the rest until you've made up your mind.
