5 Samples: Conductive Fabric

Discover a tinkerer's dream with this 5-fabric conductive sample pack, perfect for wearables, e-textiles, and soft circuit experiments!

💟 A $26.75 value for only $18.99!

When I first started in wearables, it was hard to find anything beyond ripstop fabric—now, we have gems like stretchy silver fibre that move with the body.

Each pack includes five unique conductive fabrics to explore:

1. Ripstop (20×20 cm) – Your standard and affordable choice. Good for prototyping. Durable and ideal for buttons, switches, and battery holders. Comes in a random square or diamond pattern.
2. Silver Fiber Stretchy (15×15 cm) – A flexible, 100% silver-ion plated nylon fabric, great for wearable applications that move with the body.
3. Copper Dream (20×20 cm) – A blend of copper and nickel, easy to cut and sew, making it perfect for custom touch buttons.
4. Nickel Mix (20×20 cm) – Highly conductive but should not be worn directly on skin. Ideal for shielding and technical applications.
5. Thin Mesh Fabric (10×10 cm) – 100% silver fiber mesh, excellent for lightweight conductive applications, with a surface resistance below 0.03 ohm.

📌 Please Note: Fabrics are hand-cut, so slight size variations may occur.

💡 Experimenting with these? We’d love to see your project photos!

🔥 Bonus: We also offer a sticky conductive fabric pack featuring adhesive-backed Copper and Silver for even more creative possibilities.

⚠️ Important: Silver-based fabrics can degrade in poor water quality. Test your tap water before washing to maintain conductivity. Use distilled or deionized water for best results.

Poor water quality will damage Silver. In particular, Sulphur, high Fluoride, and low pH will react strongly with Silver and destroy conductivity and shielding performance. Test your tap water on a small fabric swatch before washing your fabric or garment:

• Soak a small fabric swatch in tap water for 1 hour.
• Look for colour change in the water or swatch, especially blackening.
• Air dry the swatch and check for conductivity (by touching an Ohm meter to 2 points on the fabric). If colour change or loss of conductivity occurs, do NOT use tap water — use distilled, deionized, or reverse osmosis water instead.

Washing will eventually degrade the silver coating and shielding performance. Discolouration over time is normal.
