Conductive Thread (Discontinued)
DESCRIPTION
Spun from stainless steel fiber you can use it as a creative way to connect various electronics onto clothing projects. These spools are a great way to get into wearable electronics without a large upfront cost and come in large enough quantities to not be afraid of making a few mistakes.Great for artists, crafters, designers, hobbyists and robotics enthusiasts alike.
What sets this thread apart from others is the fact that it's actually spun from stainless steel fibers (as opposed to plated silver) and doesn't have a Nylon core. This means that while it may not be easy to solder to, because it's stainless, it also won't burn up when you touch it with a soldering iron. Perfect for your next project as it allows wearable clothing to remain wearable and washable!

NOTES
- This thread can be slightly more difficult to work with in close, fine conditions. Our resident E-Textiles expert suggests waxing the thread for hand sewing, as this should take care of any 'hairy thread' issues.
- Since waxing is impractical in machine sewing applications, avoid sewing close connections by machine as the 'hairs' could potentially short across small distances.

It actually plays my old home videos on a screen the size of a stamp. It's my desk's favorite object.
The remote is absurd and I love it. Setup took five minutes and my clips looked crisp on that little screen.
Build quality is unreal for something this small. Feels like a real gadget, not a toy — and it's made here.
Gifted one to my brother and now the whole family wants one. Tiny, but seriously mighty.
Battery lasts through a work day on my shelf and the fireplace loop is weirdly cozy. Zero regrets.
Loading my own videos over USB was dead simple. It's the best desk conversation-starter I own.
