This lovely fabric is great for creating wearables. Very soft as it's a cotton base. Good for making buttons, switches, and battery holders. It's a stretchy style fabric. Unsure what you can do with conductive fabrics? Read our book on wearables!
The smaller piece size is great for trying a new conductive material out.
We offer 3 different sizes:
- 10 x 10 cm
- 20 x 20 cm
- 30 x 30 cm
Material: 35% silver+65% cotton
Color: Silver-Gray
Iron on medium if necessary, check in the corner first for temperature, steam ok. Discoloration can occur over time.
** 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:
1- soak a small fabric swatch in tap water for 1 hour.
2- look for color change in the water or swatch, especially blackening.
3- air dry the swatch and check for conductivity (by touching an Ohm meter to 2 points on the fabric) If color change or loss of conductivity occurs, DO NOT use tap water to wash/rinse your fabric, use distilled or deionized, reverse osmosis water. Washing will eventually degrade Silver coating and shielding performance. Discoloration over time is normal.
