The burn test help you to authenticate the fabric is wool or not!

A "real wool burn test" involves igniting a small strand of wool fabric to identify its authenticity by observing its burning characteristics: it should burn slowly, curl away from the flame, self-extinguish quickly, and produce a strong smell like burnt hair, leaving behind a small, hard, dark bead-like residue that can be easily crushed into powder; if the fabric burns quickly, melts, or has a strong chemical smell, it is likely not pure wool. Key points about a wool burn test: • Burning behavior: Wool ignites slowly and curls away from the flame, burning with a relatively small flame. • Smell: When burning, wool emits a distinct odor resembling burnt hair. • Ash residue: After burning, wool leaves a small, hard, dark bead-like ash that can be easily crushed. Important considerations: • Safety first: Always perform a burn test in a safe environment with proper ventilation and a heat-resistant surface. • Small sample: Only burn a very small fiber sample to avoid potential damage. • Blends: If the fabric is a wool blend, the burn characteristics may be altered, making identification less clear.
