High-powered yarn

Supreme Corporation has introduced VOLT Smart Yarns, a highly conductive yarn capable of sending power, ground and signals to make functional, wearable smart clothing. Capable of high levels of conductivity on the order of 1.9 Ohms per meter, each VOLT Smart Yarn contains up to four wires the diameter of a human hair. Engineered for use with commercial sewing machines, the yarn can be purchased by the kilometer and can be woven or knitted into fabrics that heat, control switches and volume, interact with wireless technology and become sensors for impact and touch.
