12/2 on 15 amp circuit

Hi Everybody!

I have a 3-way switch that controls a light; all of the current wiring is 14/2 (and 14/3 for the 3-way part).

I plan on replacing the single light with multiple recessed lighting cans... my question is:

Can I use 12/2 from the switch to the new lights even though the power source to the switch is 14 gauge wire?

Thanks,

Ed
