What Are E-Textiles?
E-textiles, or electronic textiles, are fabrics that have been enhanced with digital components such as LEDs, sensors, and small computers. These components allow the textiles to perform functions beyond those of traditional fabrics. They can light up, change color, track health data, or even connect to your smartphone.
E-textile kits typically include all the materials needed to create an e-textile project from scratch. These kits often contain conductive thread or fabric, LEDs or other electronic components, batteries or power sources, and instructions for assembly.
