Knit Breadboard Circuit
Plug and Wear makes and sells a knit perfboard. Alternate rows and knit with wire and a non-conductive synthetic yarn so that parts can be soldered to separate rows, similar to a traditional breadboard.
Pompom Tilt Sensor
This is a combination of conductive pompom and tilt sensor. The advantage is that the pompom has much bigger and softer surface than metal bead, which helps for it to touch the tilt detecting conductive fabric. Also it gives a certain look, that may be desired for some projects.
Pompom Maker
While pompom makers are convenient tools for making pompoms in all different sizes, you can also make your own tool from cardboard.
