Fabric Content Testing

A reprint from Quiltnet by Kathryn C

To do a fiber content test, clip a long thin piece of the fabric and over a fire proof dish (like an ashtray), burn one end and let it go out or put it out (don't burn your fingers ;) )..

  • If the fabric contains polyesters or similar synthetic fibers in it the burned edge will have small hard plastic globules, where the plastic melted instead of burning.
  • If the fabric is pure cotton, nothing will remain but a gray ash that easily disintegrates.
  • If the fabric is pure silk, the fabric will be hard to ignite and will give out a distinctive oder.
  • I don't know for sure what wool does, but I think it gives out the odor of burned hair.
  • Rayon burns much as cotton does, as it is celluose and is hard to tell from cotton with a burn test.
