Is there a washable magnetic fabric in existence?

NerdAtHeart · Jul 23, 2012

Hi, I'm not a materials scientist by any means, but I have a business idea that would involve the use of a washable magnetic fabric. Does anyone know of any such material? If not, does anyone know a good place I might look to find such information? I've tried googling, but I haven't found anything of substance (pun haha... you I'm that lame) yet. Thanks!

Welcome to the PF.

It would seem that a very light chain mail made of steel or iron would work...
