Fascinated by technology? Well, who isn't. While at times it is difficult to reconcile tech and craft, in other cases a yarn, a colour or palette sparks your imagination.
New Mill's Spring/Summer 2023 yarn collection features, for example, several yarns in green shades that call to mind the green core of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Founded in 1966 in Prato by Giuseppe Milanesi (it was originally called Milanesi Filati), New Mill is known for pure cashmere, cashmere blends and lambswool, both recycled and certified; pure wool coming from certified farms and viscose blends with LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose fibers and certified organic cotton.
The company actually boasts several certifications, connected to sustainable products, including GRS (Global Recycle Standard), RWS (Resposible Wool Standard), GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and OCS (Organic Content Standard).
New Mill's S/S 23 collection features carded and fancy yarns in many different compositions and structures: sustainable fashion fans can check out, for example, the "Green by New Mill" line that features two sustainable and certified yarns that call to mind the colour of PCBs, Magnus (85% Livaeco viscose, 10% polyester and 3% metallised fibre) in vibrant green, and King GRS (45% recycled GRS cotton, 51% polyester, 2% nylon, 2% metallised fibre) in dark blue with sparkling speckles of green (View this photo).
The "Fashion by New Mill" line that is mainly focused on fashionable and on-trend yarns features quite a few PCBs evoking yarns: Cocoon (70% cotton and 30% nylon; View this photo) with its scattered colourful dots replicates the holes and connections found on a PCB; Screziato, a 100% linen flax yarn comes in olive green and bright green as well.
For fans of techno-shades there's Linone, instead, another 100% linen flax yarn in fluorescent green, and the super bright Oro Tinto (97% nylon, 3% metallised fibre) available in a variety of colours, including a super brilliant green shade suspended between the Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz and The Matrix's digital rain codes.
