Default Yarn for socks

Hi Marie,

I've not used it for socks, but I have made a sweater out of it. It's
REALLY warm. It pills a lot though, and feels pretty heavy. I don't
know how it would work with socks.

I was wondering- has anybody here used Alpaca yarn to make socks
with? I've used a lot of wool, and was wondering if Alpaca had
similar qualities, such as being water-repellent and holding in body
heat. Would Alpaca wear as well as wool? Has anyone tried it?
Thanks!
Marie and the cats
