Step 3Minutes 4&5: Conductive yarn
Aniomagic conductive yarn contains two channels of hand-spun combed merino wool. It's a two ply spin with nominal resistance over distances up to 30 yards, and no conductance between the two strands. The yarn looks and feels no different than conventional yarn, and takes well to gentle handwashing. We're really proud of this, as we can now consider knitting entire scarves without worrying about short circuits.
Each one has a conductive core, so you'll need to peel back the yarn to expose it. Sew one to the top piece, and the other to the bottom. It doesn't matter which yarn goes to which (zelf) piece.
Carefully draw the yarn back to cover the cores. Make sure the conductive threads aren't touching.
This is a great time to use a multimeter to measure the resistance of your assembly as you squeeze the pieces.
This is also a good time to finish off this piece. You can spend minutes 6 7 8 on this. We'll wait :-)
Alternatively, you can finish the dock connection and come back to completing the fabric portion.
