Answer: A simple burn test can do the job
Explanation:
Burn a small piece of the fabric to identify the fiber used in it.
Natural fiber like wool, when burnt, smells like burning hair. Natural fibers also tend to have steady flames.
In case of synthetic fibers , they melt and start dripping and can leave hard ash at times . Nylon , when burnt for a long time , smells like burning plastic.
Hope this helped :)
