New Mill · Greenlastic 12000 · 1200m/100g (1313yds/3.5oz) · 85% Cashmere (WS) 3% Merino (WV) 3% Elastane (EA) 9% Polyamide (PA)
Greenlastic 12000 by New Mill is a cashmere-dominant ultra-fine thread with a subtly distinctive character — 85% cashmere delivers the legendary softness and warmth the fiber is known for, while 3% elastane introduces a gentle, natural spring to the thread that gives it a slight wave and an inherent elasticity quite unlike conventional cashmere yarns.
The elastane content is not about stretch in the athletic sense — it is about recovery, memory, and a living quality in the hand. The thread has a faint undulation, a softness that moves with the body rather than against it. Polyamide and a touch of merino complete the blend, reinforcing durability and evenness without compromising the cashmere's essential character.
The result is a cashmere yarn that performs better than cashmere alone — softer in wear, more resilient in washing, and with a subtle tactile quality that sets it apart from any straight cashmere thread.
Greenlastic 12000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, adding cashmere's incomparable softness and the blend's natural elasticity to any combination.
Versatile Use
At 1200m/100g, Greenlastic 12000 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The cashmere-elastane blend maintains its softness, warmth, and gentle spring at every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and close-fitting accessories where cashmere comfort and natural recovery define the finished piece.

Swatching Required
A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. The elastane content gives this yarn a natural recovery that affects gauge differently from non-elastic threads. Always swatch on the needles you intend to use and measure after the swatch has fully relaxed.
