This means that while it may not be easy to solder to, because it\u2019s stainless, it also won\u2019t burn up when you touch it with a soldering iron. Our resident E-Textiles expert suggests waxing the thread for hand sewing, as this should take care of any \u2018hairy thread\u2019 issues. Since waxing is impractical in machine sewing applications, avoid sewing close connections by machine as the \u2018hairs\u2019 could potentially short across small distances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Made from Stainless Steel Fibers<\/li>\n<li>Resistance: 28 Ohms\/ft<\/li>\n<li>360 yards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information about components for wearable technology please click <a href=\"http:\/\/proto-pic.co.uk\/conductive-thread-60g-stainless-steel\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a soft potentiometer that is perfect for controlling a flashing LED or the tone of a buzzer.
