Anyone wearing alpaca this season?

... in particular, socks. Even more particularly, thin "summer" socks. (That match my eyes 🤩)

I believe black alpaca was the height of fashion a few (85) yrs ago.

Bamboo socks are terrible, once you sweat they remain damp.

I sweat, so no sock is ever dry unless I'm in summer shoes in summer. I do bamboo tops when I can get them.

He...he... people still think "bamboo" fiber is natural. Sorry for the giggle, but I just think it is the best-perpretrated scam ever. I doff my hat to the inventors of it. They pulled it off.

Look up the toxic effects of carbon disulphide, often used in “bamboo” textile manufacure.
