Datasheet

This is about 330 meters of conductive thread spun from stainless steel fibre and wound
on a spool. You can use it as a creative way to connect various electronics onto clothing
projects. This large spool is a great way to get into wearable electronics without a large
upfront cost and a large enough quantity to not be afraid of making a few mistakes.
What sets this thread apart from the other conductive thread that we carry is the fact that
it's actually spun from stainless steel fibres (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. Also, it's
somewhat 'hairy' and can be slightly more difficult to work with in close, fine conditions
than the other thread. Waxing the thread for hand sewing is suggested, 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.
