  6 ply stainless steel thread from Bekaert Stainless Technologies comes on an industrial spool, has minimal resistance of approximately 1 ohm/foot, and easily whiskers.       Due to the diameter of the thread the best application method is couching or weaving.     Other options for stainless steel thread are 2 ply and 4ply.  

  All the LEDs glowing in a row!
