+Due to time limitations I only got to trying out Statex (the biggest spool in image below). Which is an absolutely great conductive yarn to work with.

+I found this cute way of bending the LED lights on pintrest, ideal for embroidering them on fabric.
+'' Final Design: ''
+So, in the end the circuit worked. However this had more to do with whether the aluminium foil made proper contact with the conductive wires, instead of the bending itself. As I mentioned before, I'll enhance this design in week 8.
+And a small mental note: for the sake of taking clear pictures, using black fabric is a really bad idea. The next design I'll use easy distinguishable colours.
