Knitted Stretch Sensor

Today I knitted two textile stretch sensors.
1. A linnen/iron twisted yarn ---> round knitting with double twisted yarn ---> resistence measurements from 133 Ohm (Loose) to 095 Ohm (Stretched)
2. Same linnen/iron twisted yarn with a blue wool --->measurements from 268 Ohm (Loose) to 222 Ohm (Stretched)

The more you stretch, the more connected are the conductive parts and the less resistance is in between measurement point A and B.
This can be used as a sensor to actuate for example a led.
