Fabric identification:
Do a burn test when you are unsure about the fibre type (content) of a fabric.

The fabric tested is a square of Calico, which is a woven fabric that consists of 100% cotton fibres.
Cotton is a natural cellulose fibre (short, plant fibres).

When doing the cotton burn test, the following can be observed:
* Fabric is flammable
* Catches on fire easily - flare up when lit
* Burns easily - continues to burn
* Continues to glow/burn after extinguished
* No melted beads - cellulose = natural fibre
* Grey smoke
* Smells like burning paper
* Ash is crumbly and soft - will disintegrate if you rub it

Wondering why you should do a burn test?
