STAINLESS STEEL FIBER

Adafruit offers a stainless steel fiber (20um - 10 grams) which may be spun or felted to create an e-textile. You can also make a squeeze/pressure sensor with this fiber, as it becomes less resistive the more you squeeze the fibers together. Make sure to combine this fiber with a natural animal fiber (which have "scales") for best results. 10g is the perfect amount and should suffice for several projects..

Adafruit also carries a number of other wearable components, wearable electronics platforms, conductive textiles, battery packs, sensors and LEDs, and all-in-one packs
