Brown Dog Gadgets - Conductive Thread - 5m

Spun from stainless steel fibers and nylon this conductive thread is the perfect solution to all your e-textile needs. This is great as it acts like thread, not like a wire!

We like this particular thread for several reasons.  First, it's thin and easy to sew with.  Second, it's strong.  Really strong.  As in machine washable strong.  Lastly, it only has a resistance of between 10-20 ohm per foot which makes it excellent for both large and small projects.

Our pre-wound plastic bobbins each come with 16.4 feet (5 meters) of conductive thread. Most projects only need 1 to 3 feet of thread, such as our bracelet project, which uses 3 feet of thread each.
