It is easy to do and works very well as a stretch sensor.

To do this knitted-stretch-sensor you will need:

1- thread

2- resistive yarn

If you don’t have a french knitter,  you will need:

1- sticks (I used my pencils)

2- tape

3- tube  (I used a can)

  • To do your knitter you can follow this tutorial here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkbXitpugjQ

Here you see my process

Hey! Don’t forget to knit the thread and the resistive yarn together.

To get a feeling of my group future intention that is to make noise out of wearable, based on the Arduino’s exemples code “MultipleTone”  I connected my sensor in this circuit.

Here you have the output.
