## Description

A 3-ply conductive thread made entirely from 316L stainless steel fibre. Thin enough to sew by hand with a medium-eye needle, yet strong and smooth — ideal for wearable electronics, e-textile projects, and sewable circuits. With a resistivity of approximately 10 ohms per foot, this thread can drive LEDs and other low-current components (under ~100mA). Unlike silver-based conductive threads, stainless steel will not oxidise over time, so your projects stay working and are safe to wash. Key Features 316L Stainless Steel – Corrosion-resistant, won't oxidise like silver thread 3-Ply Construction – Strong and smooth for hand sewing Low Resistivity – ~10 ohms per foot, suitable for driving LEDs Washable – Safe for machine and hand washing 18 Metres (60ft) – Wound on a small bobbin Specifications Material – 316L stainless steel Ply – 3 Resistance – ~10Ω/ft (~33Ω/m) Current Rating – Up to ~100mA Length – 18m (60ft) Ideal For Wearable electronics and e-textile projects Sewable LED circuits and soft switches Conductive embroidery and smart garments Projects requiring washable conductive connections Package Contents 1× Bobbin of 3-ply stainless steel conductive thread (18m/60ft) Tip: This thread is slightly stiff (similar to waxed thread) and not ideal for touchscreen-compatible gloves. For glove fingertip pads, try the Stainless Thin Conductive Yarn instead.
