These are threads from Syscom that I have used on various eTextile projects and they are now available on amazon!   AmberStrand 166 Silver – 30 feet $11 USD AmberStrand 166 Silver – 130 feet $37 USD I measure the resistance is 4 ohms/meter. This is the thread I use when I make bobbin lace. Please see my blog […]

  Speaker prototypes from conductive thread.    

  Statex generously sponsored the eTextile Lounge at Ljudmila’s PIF Summer Hacker Camp in Slovenia’s Trenta Valley where we will be converting traditional PCBs and sensors into soft circuits.   Samples of all of their conductive threads.     33/10 dtex Z-turns     44/12 dtex Zturns     22/1 dtex + 113/32 dtex PES     117/17 dtex 2 […]

  Winding bobbins of Mitsifuju onto sewing machine bobbins for use at PIF Camp in Slovenia.    

  In order to use Syscom Metal Clad threads on my home sewing machine I had to wind them onto some empty spools.     Super sexy copper, silver, and nickel conductive thread!    

  Testing conductive thread from Syscom Metal Clad Fibers. Sewing a straight stitch with the conductive thread as a top thread to test resistance and learn how smoothly the thread feeds thru the eye of the needle.    

  While cleaning up the studio I found a conductive thread sampler from 2008.     The 235/34 2 ply thread was the only one that I would recommend sewing eTextiles with.     Before purchasing I recommend testing a sample of this thread from their current manufacturing stock to be sure it is will being produced with the same […]

  Dried up conductive paint makes a pretty picture. I left a jar of LessEMF CUPro paint open for about six month. Oooops!
