We're DIY hacker-crafters and are all about computational textiles & electronic fashion!

We grew up in the Craft Technology Lab at CU Boulder, and are excited to be in the middle of the DIY movement going on right now. Check out Instructables and Craft Magazine, both wonderful sharing communities for DIYers.

We started out as a collaborative project with Leah Buechley to integrate traditional textiles with new fabrics and threads that conduct electricity. Her pioneering work with wearable etextile technology and in particular the Lilypad Arduino (cooperatively designed with SparkFun) sparked a revolution for interactive fashion.

We admire the unique sense of aesthetics she brings to electronics design, and we're grateful to be following in this giant's footsteps. You can see her influence in many of our products.

Our kits are simple and easy to use, and our website has tons of pictures and examples to help you make really interesting projects with minimum fuss. If you feel like doing some programming, to change the behavior of your fashion pieces, we have some pretty cool ways to do that too.

Everything comes packed in really cute, laser-engraved, cardstock envelopes, and we spend a lot of time and effort on the little details, so they would make perfect gifts for the crafter in your life.

We also feel that this is a great way to introduce children to a side of computer science, fashion, and electrical engineering that they don't normally get exposed to.

We love getting questions and feedback, so don't hesitate to send us a message, call us (+1 303 653 5076), or visit:

Nwanua Elumeze	Nwanua, our CEO, enjoys weaving computation with traditional craft materials to make them interactive and programmable. He should not be running a company, but should instead finish writing his thesis.
Ali Crockett	Ali, our VP of Craft Technology, is a lifelong crafter and game lover, and brings her creative spark to e-textile R&D. In addition to inventing conductive yarn and related spinning techniques she designs textile and paper based games and puzzles. She is also an accomplished musician and composer.
Brad Cooper	Brad is our consumate multitasker, expert on so many aspects of mechanical design. An alumnus of the Craft Tech Group and Space Grant Consortium at CU, he's the go-to guy for rapid prototyping, machining and 3d printing. His other interests include gadgets, space, and Ultimate Frisbee.

What is this all about?
We make materials and smart modules that let you stitch electrical circuits into fabric. Silver-coated threads and tin coated fabrics feel just like traditional thread and fabric, but conduct electricity. With our products, you can quickly decorate things like clothes, bags, and tapestries with soft twinkling circuits.  
 
 
Is it really washable?
Absolutely! For any of your projects, remove the battery, hand wash with a mild detergent, then drip dry. Note that each time you wash conductive thread, it becomes less and less able to carry electricity.  
 
 
Why don't you have printed instructions?
We've found that putting all the documentation online has a number of benefits: we can update the instructions really easily; you can search for exactly what you need; we can provide large pictures in full color; and we all save on paper.
 
 

What kind of payments do you accept?
You can make payments on our secure site using American Express, VISA, MasterCard, JCB, and Discover cards. You can also use Paypal®, and the checkout page gives you the option. Please let us know if you want to use another payment method.  
 
 
Can you ship my stuff in a hurry?
Although we can't guarantee it, we try to ship express orders on the same day if they are received before 1pm MDT, Monday - Friday. It is now Saturday, 12:19am MDT.  
 
Where do you ship to?
We ship to over 190 countries, so if you have a mailing address, we can ship to you, anywhere.

Please always make sure that the mailing address you give us is current and accurate. We cannot be held responsible for misaddressed packages.  
 
 
 

How much is shipping?	US Domestic	International
First Class	N/A	$5.60
Priority	$4.80	$12.30
Express	$16.50	$30.00

 
 
*First class international packages are not insured, and are not trackable. Your package can spend anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks in the mail before it arrives. By choosing this method, you agree to assume all risk of loss or damage, and you agree to indemnify and hold Aniomagic, its officers, directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors in interest, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses in connection to the transaction.  
 
 
Why not UPS or Fedex?
Simplicity: all our products are flat and packed in USPS flat-rate envelopes, which give you the best overall shipping rates. We don't carry any bulk or heavy items so any other method just ends up being more expensive. If you do need to use another shipping method, (like Fedex express service that bypasses your country's postal service), please let us know before placing your order.  
 
 
What about sales tax?
We collect Colorado sales tax on any order shipped to a Colorado address, unless the purchase is tax-exempt. Prior to placing tax-exempt orders, send us your tax-exempt certificate and wait for a confirmation/acceptance email before making your purchase.

Although Aniomagic does not collect tax on any shipment to any location outside Colorado, international shipments may be assessed duties, taxes, or fees by the destination country upon delivery. Aniomagic is not responsible for any extra charges, as they are the sole responsibility of the importer.

If you choose not to pay these extra charges, the return shipping and any additional fees will be deducted from the cost of the order, before the remainder is refunded to you.  
 
 
Refunds or exchanges?
If you order anything from us and are not satisfied with it, please send it back to us in its original condition within one month of receipt and we will either refund or exchange your purchase, less any shipping charges.
 
 

You can make purchases locally in the following countries:

Japan: Mecha Robo Shop
