Capacitance-to-Digital Converter for Arduino Nano

[LTarduino]

Good evening to everyone,
I have a question about the choice of the right Capacitance-to-Digital Converter (CDC) for my Arduino Nano.
I have a sensor that changes its capacitance due to a strain. It is composed by the textile conductive layers and a dielectric material in the middle, which are stretchable. Its initial capacitance is of 174 pF (C0) and the ratio deltaC/C0 could reach 1.2.
I know that some CDC exist, such as the AD774X family but the input ranges are very small (8 pF).
Could you suggest me a CDC that could measure the aforementioned variations? Or, at least, a CDC with the range of nanoFarads? I searched on internet but i did not find anything.

I really appreciate your help, thank you.

a CDC that could measure the aforementioned variations?

I think the word you want is "detect" the capacitance changes, rather than "measure" the changes. Look for or build an oscillator that uses the textile as part of a resonant circuit. your Arduino could "measure" the frequency and could then convert the changing frequency to capacitance change ratio.
