Details

Re-imagine wires and the purpose of sewing with this clever material! Conductive thread is included in many of our Crazy Circuits kits, and is great for soft circuits and wearable projects, such as light-up bracelets, t-shirts, ties, and sock puppets. It sews just like normal thread but is electrically conductive. Now, your sewn connections can also be circuit pathways. The possibilities are endless!

Overview

Spun from stainless steel fibers and nylon this conductive thread is the perfect solution to all your e-textile needs. This is great as it acts like thread, not like a wire!

We like this particular thread for several reasons.  First, it's thin and easy to sew with.  Second, it's strong.  Really strong.  As in machine washable strong.  Lastly, it only has a resistance of between 10-20 ohm per foot which makes it excellent for both large and small projects.

Our pre-wound plastic bobbins each come with 16.4 feet (5 meters) of conductive thread. Most projects only need 1 to 3 feet of thread, such as our bracelet project, which uses 3 feet of thread each.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
