E textiles Conductive thread is ideal for wearable technology craft projects, conductive thread is perfect for hand sewing and can be used on the bottom bobbin of a sewing machine (this will require the thread to be wound on to the smaller bottom bobbin first).
Spool contains approx 162m of conductive thread.
If the thread breaks simply tie the two ends together and it still works perfectly
- This highly smart thread is ideal for introducing electronics into textile projects. The thread looks and behaves like conventional sewing thread with the added bonus of being highly conductive.
- Thread has a resistance of approximately 0.4Ω/cm, or 12Ω/foot
- Resistance does not vary significantly from one length of thread to the next as some are reported to do, so you should be able to use this thread without concern for "dead" sections
- The thread has a breaking strain of around 4.2kg (9.3 pounds)
- It comprises roughly 96 individual filaments, each coated with a micron-thick layer of natural pure silver. 16 of these filaments are wound together to form an initial twist; two of these twists are then twisted together, and finally three of these twists are combined
- In thread terms, thickness is approximately 18 denier
- This thread does not fray: there are no loose ends of filaments except where they have been cut
- Spool contains approx. 162 metres
