    It’s all in the socks and a good, warm hat. Wools over cotton, wet cotton from sweat or snow in cold enough weather can be dangerous.

      Anything made with Merino Wool is phenomenal. Warm feet in the cold outside. Comfortable feet in the warm building. It’s wild.

        Llama (or probably alpaca) wool is no joke. There’s a reason why most yarns are a blend and aren’t 100% alpaca, it’s usually too hot.

        I have alpaca wool socks and they are just amazing. So comfortable and so warm. They were something like $22 for a pair, but they’ve held up pretty well and they’ve been worth it.
