Embodiments relate to conductive textiles and methods of their production, as well as systems for electronically connecting devices through conductive textiles. An example textile comprises a first electrically conductive track; a second electrically conductive track; and at least one non-conductive portion. At least a portion of the first electrically conductive track overlaps or is in close proximity to at least a portion of the second electrically conductive track. At least said portions of the respective tracks are separated by an insulating material so that there is no electrical coupling between the first and second tracks.

A bead weaving loom includes a weave frame with a front wall connected to a rear wall by a plurality of frame legs, and a tray having a plurality of bead receiving cavities for receiving a plurality of beads, wherein the tray may be removably situated on the frame.

Rare earth ceramic pigment luminescent nano-particle photon markers are mixed in specific proportions within cellulose slurry and extruded to form trace fiber strands. The trace fiber strands are processed into slivers and are blended with a base fiber or fibers at specific concentration levels. The number and proportion of different photon markers and their concentration levels within the yarn, thread, cloth, fabric, textile or garment generate specific photonic response signatures when examined under a spectrophotometer reader. Signatures may be assigned representing provenance, base fiber identification, base fiber concentration, the manufacturer, and/or other data throughout the manufacturing and supply chain of a finished product.
