+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. This was also the feedback I got from Kobakant.
+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.
