Camenzind yarns

The Gaddum family have been selling Camenzind silk yarns and blended silk yarns for well over 50 years. We are very proud with our association with one of the top silk spinners in the world. Swiss silk is synonymous with high quality and the branding Swiss Mountain Silk confirms that high quality.

Camenzind is located in the village of Gersau tucked along the shores of Lake Lucerne. The factory is situated on the hillside where they make their own electricity using a small hydro plant. The yarns are produced with the least amount of impact on the environment.

Camenzind produce 100% spun silk yarns as well as silk blends with luxury fibres such as wool, cashmere, babycamel hair, bamboo, seacell, cotton, linen, kid, mohair and alpaca. All the yarns are spun and sold in their natural state. In the case of the 100% silk this is ecru or natural white. In the case of tussah silk this is more of a cream shade.
