The burning test is a simple way to identify fibers. With this test, you can easily distinguish natural fibers from artifical, cellulosic (plant - cotton, flax, hemp etc.) from protein (animal - wool, cashmere, silk) fibers.
If you plan doing burning tests, do not forget your safety measures!
Great video, and extremely educational. I wished that I would have seen this before having a suite made for me in Thailand. They claimed that it was 100% Cashmere and after it was definitely Polyester. I had the place tare off a sample of the fabric so I can test it myself. I totally got Ripped off!! Thanks again for sharing.

I actually got redirected here because furi was having a discussion about what would happen if someone was heartless enough to set a fursuit on fire.

Hemp, my dear, is a cellulosic fiber and burns like cotton, flax or rayon.
