Description

This 316L stainless steel thread falls somewhere between a thick thread and a thin yarn. Most sewing machines wouldn't be happy with this thread since its thick, and it has the 'furry' soft feel of yarn which makes it poor for most e-textiles/wearables projects. However, the high conductivity and softness make it a great thread for making iPhone gloves! Sew a couple inches into the pad of your gloves to keep your hands toasty while you use your iPhone, iPad or any other device with a 'capacitive' touch screen. Because capacitive sensors sense your finger through conductivity, not pressure, they don't work when you wear your gloves - they act as insulators. Just follow Becky Stern's awesome tutorial and in 10 minutes flat you will have upgraded winter wear Measures 0.4mm thick, 3 ply thread, 1.0 ohm per inch

Adafruit product 641 Ideal for any wearable/e-textile project. It also has fairly low resistivity, 10 ohms per foot so you can use it to drive LEDs and other electronic components that use under 100mA. Because it is made of stainless steel fiber, it will not oxidize like silver does: your projects will not 'stop working' Because of oxidation after a few months and its safe to wash. Comes in a small metal (or plastic) bobbin with 18 meters/60 feet wound on.
