Conductive Thread 2 Bobbins 65ft/20m 60-80 Ω/m 2Ω/ft Smooth Sewable for Arduino Lilypad E-texile with Needle Threader

Little pricy but works perfectly for my winter motorcycle gloves to add touchscreen functionality

Extremely pleased at the price when you compare it to the "by the meter" items. All the conductive gloves I have bought are never very good or only have the index finger conductive. I use this to patch index, middle and thumb. Remember to sew all the way through so the thread on the inside touches skin. This amount will last years.

Pensé que no servirían, pero funcionan adecuadamente. Además sirve para diversos proyectos textiles.

NOTE: the thread has to go through to the inside of the glove, to be in contact with your finger, or it doesn't work. At first, I just stitched, like embroidery, a small patch on the outside -- and it didn't work. I removed that and then ran the thread both inside the glove and across a section of the outside. This works great! Now I can operate my phone on my motorcycle (while stopped, e.g., at a stoplight) while wearing gloves. Highly recommend.

My car and electronic devices have refused to respond when I try to tap their buttons when wearing my favourite gloves, or any others except the one pair with conductive thread in the tips of the index fingers. I Swiss darned (duplicate stitch, which follows the same path as the knitting stitches) this thread in over the pad of the index finger of my dominant hand, but embroidery stitches, or simple sewing would work too. It not only works on my devices, but also on my car, which is incredibly stubborn. I will probably work a few more rows in, as I realize now that I tap with the lower part of that finger pad more than the tip, but it works. The yarn is rather stiff, and hard to thread into the eye of the needle provided, even when using the needle threader in the case, but with persistence, it does eventually thread. I will look for a needle with a larger eye before using it again. Other than that, just beware that the kit is very small, and elusive. Put it somewhere which helps contain it, without swallowing it up. I had difficulty with its going missing before I could get my glove darned.

Puse hilo en mis guantes de moto, excelente hasta el momento funciona muy bien 👍 para usar el celular, me ahorré comprar unos guantes nuevos.

Initially I sewed this thread onto my mitten and it didn’t work. I was very disappointed and was ready to write a negative review, then I went to YouTube and watched a video on how to use this kind of thread. I’ve re-sewed my glove ensuring that the thread touched my finger on the inside of my glove and that made all the difference. If you tried this and it didn’t work, make sure there is a significant surface on the inside of your glove touching your finger. It’s conductive thread so it has to touch your finger to work.
