You’ll Think Your Feet ‘Rule’ With These Kentucky Royalty Golf Socks

PacaNaturals presents a new sock style: an alpaca golf sock that is not just for golfers!

These ankle socks come to us courtesy of Kentucky Royalty, a Kentucky-based farm that supports family owned farms. Each sock is carefully constructed, using only domestic fiber, to be highly functional and super comfortable.

As always, alpaca fiber is as soft as cashmere, but this sock has so much more to offer. Mesh knitting on the top allows your skin to breathe easy, keeping your feet nice and cool. A thicker layer on the bottom provides support for your arch as well as extra cushioning while walking.

If you turn one of these golf socks inside out, you’ll find terry loops. These loops help to wick away moisture quickly and reduce odor. Imagine that, a sock that helps to keep your feet smelling fresh!

Natural white and black are currently the only colors available, but we have a variety of sizes for both ladies and men. Stop in to get a feel for these socks yourself!

You’re probably not too surprised to learn that many knitters visit our shop. Some seek inspiration, searching for a new pattern to master. Most are on a mission for materials. Alpaca yarn is some of the finest a fiber artist can work with. It’s soft to touch and keeps you toasty while you work. And now, we offer a brand new collection: Alpaca Elegance.

Alpaca Elegance is a collection created by Green Mountain Spinnery. Located in Putney, VT, this mill is proud to offer “greenspun” yarns. Their product is processed with only vegetable based soaps and oils. They don’t use any chemicals to dye, bleach, mothproof, or remove chaff.

This collection is a DK-weight blend of 50% New England alpaca fiber and 50% fine wool. Each skein has about 180 yards of yarn. The suggested guage is 5 stitches per inch on US needles size 6.

You might use these skeins for a nice pair of fingerless mittens, a cozy hat, or an elegant scarf. Stop in to feel the yarn for yourself! Whether you have a pattern in mind or you’re just interested in adding to your stash, we can help you choose the right color and the right yardage for you.
