Sparkly Fashion Thread

 
Conductive thread can be rather drab. Your options are grey, grey, or grey. It leaves you wanting the super bright sparkly colors of fashion threads, yes?

You’ll be tempted to try these ‘metallic’ threads offered by Kreinik on your eTextile and wearable computing projects.

DON”T DO IT!!!

Kreinik fashion thread looks like metalic but is NOT conductive - not suitable for eTextiles
 

These threads are NOT conductive and will not carry an electrical current.

There are lots of other ways to embellish conductive thread to support the aesthetics of your eTextile and wearable computing project. Try beads, embroidery, or even paint. Shift the paradigm and make the tread look the way you want.
