Many variations of color, texture, capacity and soldering ability are available when making your own conductive thread.

Experiment with everything possible to support your design theme, method of connecting circuits and end goal.

As always - test the new multi-ply thread/wire twist with a multimeter.
Depending on your material choice the new twist might have a higher/same/lower resistance.

Enjoy!

you should add a 1/4 in bolt and saw off the head of it. this would let you put it in a drill and keep constant pressure on it while you are winding.

Wow, that was really cool! I'm gonna need to try making one of these next time I'm at the hardware shop. Maybe spruce up my breadboard a little ;) Thanks for the instructable :)
