Silverell, 2 ply Stainless Steel, and 3 ply Stainless Steel Conductive Thread.    

  2 ply Stainless Steel wound on a 75 yard spool. This conductive thread frays at the ends and is pesky to work with. If you want a stainless steel thread I suggest the 4 ply as it provides more stability and less resistance.    

  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.
