12/3 Premium Silk & Baby Camel | Swiss Silk

Looking for a yarn that combines natural warmth with sheen and exceptional strength? Swiss Mountain Silk 12/3 Silk and Baby Camel blend is a luxurious yet practical weaving yarn. Spun in Switzerland from a thoughtful blend of camel down and silk, this yarn produces textiles that are warm, supple, and beautifully composed; it's ideal for garments, scarves, wraps, and refined interior pieces.

This yarn is designed for clarity and performance on the loom. The firm 3-ply structure provides excellent strength and consistency, making it reliable for both warp and weft. Camel fibre contributes warmth, softness, and a gentle halo, while silk adds tensile strength and a soft, understated sheen. After finishing, the cloth relaxes and softens, developing a fluid drape and cohesive surface without losing structure.

Swiss Mountain Silk 12/3 Silk and Baby Camel blend shines in projects where understated luxury and natural fibres are central.
