I'm trying to figure out if this fabric I have is really silk. It
doesn't *feel* like silk, so I burned a piece.
Pop a two-inch swatch into bleach for a few hours. Whatever dissolves is
either wool or silk. What doesn't, is something else.
Thanks. It only took about 45 minutes for the ground fabric to dissolve,
I think it is silk organza. The design woven into it seems to be rayon,
though.
