Born in the Andes. Stitched for Performance.
Before Karu, we spent years in the alpaca world, working alongside Peruvian artisans, testing fibers, and learning exactly what this material can do.
These socks aren’t a guess. They’re the product of relentless sourcing, refining, and pushing alpaca to its edge.
That’s what makes Karu different. We know this fiber inside out — and built the sock to prove it.
Why Karu Alpaca Socks?
Nature’s Best Fiber. Designed for Performance.
Alpacas evolved at 17,000 feet where temperatures swing from scorching to freezing in a day.
Their secret? Wool with hollow fibers.
Where cotton and synthetics are solid, alpaca fibers create microscopic air pockets that regulate temperature like built-in insulation.
