Pull out six to eight yarns from the fabric. Hold one end of the yarn with a tong and bring the other end over the flame of a candle.

- If yarn shrinks away from the flame and burns but does not melt and has the odour of charred meat, then it is silk yarn.
- If the yarn shrinks and burns but does not melt and has a strong odour of burning hair, then it is wool yarn.
