I'm trying to figure out if this fabric I have is really silk. It
doesn't *feel* like silk, so I burned a piece.
It shrinks from the flame, the fibers get black tips. Then it burns
slowly for a couple seconds then *whoosh* it goes. The flame goes out
once the source is removed. There's a black, firm ash. Not powdery, but
not a bead either. Kinda crunchy. Smells like smoke.
Any ideas what I got?
Dawn
