e-textiles & conductive materials 24 in stock
Soft electronics for wearables, sewing projects, and interactive textile builds
Shop e-textiles and conductive materials for wearable tech, sewn circuits, soft sensors, and creative prototypes. This collection helps makers combine electronics with fabric, fashion, and flexible form factors.
E-textiles bring code and electronics into fabric-based projects. They make it possible to build wearable lights, touch-sensitive garments, soft interfaces, and interactive art without relying only on rigid boards and standard wiring. This collection is great for design students, makers, educators, and anyone exploring hardware in more flexible forms.

Wearable build notes
Important: textile projects need both electrical and sewing decisions to work well over time.
- Think about comfort, movement, and where wires or batteries will sit on the body.
- Use strain relief and smart stitching so the circuit can handle flexing.
- Check whether the project is for display, occasional use, or repeated wear before final assembly.
What’s in the box
Inclusions depend on the item. Some listings are raw conductive materials, while others are wearable boards or accessories. Check whether thread, batteries, lights, or controller boards are sold separately.
FAQ
-
Are these good for beginners?
Yes. E-textiles are often used in workshops and beginner projects because the results are visual and creative.
-
Do I need to know sewing?
Basic sewing helps, but many projects can be learned step by step with simple stitches and careful layout.
-
Can I add LEDs to fabric projects?
Yes. Wearable LEDs and small controller boards are a common part of e-textile builds.
-
Are these only for fashion?
No. They are also useful for soft sensors, education, interactive art, and flexible interfaces.
-
Do you ship within the Philippines?
Yes. Circuitrocks ships nationwide across the Philippines.
