This 316L stainless steel conductive yarn sits between a thick thread and a thin yarn in weight. Its high conductivity and soft, flexible texture make it particularly well-suited for making touchscreen-compatible gloves and other projects that require capacitive touch conductivity.
Sew a few stitches into the fingertips of your gloves to use capacitive touchscreen devices without removing them. Since capacitive screens sense your finger through conductivity rather than pressure, standard gloves act as insulators — this conductive yarn bridges that gap.
Key Features
- 316L Stainless Steel – High-quality, corrosion-resistant conductive material
- High Conductivity – Excellent electrical properties for e-textile applications
- Soft Yarn Texture – Comfortable against skin, ideal for wearable projects
- 30 ft Length – Generous spool for multiple projects
- Capacitive Touch Compatible – Enables touchscreen use through fabric
Ideal For
- Making touchscreen-compatible gloves
- E-textile projects requiring conductivity and softness
- Capacitive touch sensors in fabric
- Conductive stitching and hand-sewing projects
Package Contents
- 1× Stainless Steel Conductive Yarn/Thread (30 ft)
Note: This yarn is thicker than standard conductive thread and may not be compatible with most sewing machines. Best suited for hand-sewing applications.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- conductive thread
- Thread made with metal or other conductive fibres so it can carry electricity while being sewn into fabric. It matters for wearable and textile projects because it can replace wire, but it has more resistance than normal hookup wire.
- Thread
- A low-power wireless mesh networking standard designed for smart home and IoT devices. It matters because Thread devices can relay messages through each other, helping build reliable networks for sensors and controllers.
