NATURALS
As a general rule they
ignite easily with a
steady glowing flame
Most have minimal
smoke
Usually leaves a soft ash
that can be blown or
wiped away, if any
Paper, wood or leaves
smell.
Cotton
Ignites easy, continues
to burn when removed
from flame. Usually a
sputtering flame.
Little white to grey
smoke.
Soft white or grey ash
that blows away. I can
still see the weave in
the ash on personal
tests.
Love the smell, burning
paper or wood. Cotton
burns rather slow. Has a
glow after flame is out
Hemp
Very similar to cotton.?
White to grey
smoke?
Grey to white ash?
I put question marks on
this one because I have
not personally burned.
Linen
Very similar to cotton,
a little harder to ignite
and a slower burn.
Same as Cotton
Same as Cotton, may be
more brittle at the base
of the ash on the fabric
edge.
Appearance will differ
from cotton, you will
easily know the
difference. Same smell.
Silk
Ignites quickly, burns
easy, and slower the
thicker it is. Curls as
it burns.
Very minimal smoke
to light.
Leaves a beaded or
gritty dark grey or
black ash.
Smells like burning hair
but sometime too faint.
Harder to extinguish than
Cotton.
Wool
Ignites rather easy but
can go out easy, you
may have to relight.
Burns like silk, slow
and curls.
Heavier smoke than
silk but not always.
Most wool is treated
so this will be
effected.
Same type of ash, small
crushable beads or grit.
Smells like burning hair.
Will be stronger than silk.
RAYON (1/2 natural and
synthetic)
Burns slower than
cotton. Steady flame,
minimal dark grey to
black smoke
Tends to have a
darker smoke than
cotton, but can vary.
Soft ash that can be
blown away. Is slightly
more brittle than
Cotton ash and may be
gritty.
Paper or wood like smell.
Tends to have more ash
left and is not as clean of
a burn as Cotton. Has a
bright glow before flame
burns out.
SYNTHETICS
Tend to retreat from
flames and melts.
Usually dark and
thick smoke
Hard, brittle, lumpy
ashes, or melted beads
Harsh acidic smells or
little to no smell. Usually
blended making hard to
identify
Acetate
