Burn test - thoughts on this fabric?

 I bought this lovely fabric in Montreal, and I was told it was wool - cashmere, in fact. And I have no reason not to believe it, but like to check.

I have filmed a burn test, because I am not sure how to interpret it! Obviously you can't smell it, but it had only a mild odour of ... possibly burning hair.

Would love to have your thoughts...

CBC radio is playing in the background - in case you are wondering!

  1. Burning hair is usually a characteristic of wool. Wool tends to be self-extinguishing, i wonder if there was also an odor of burning wood. This might have some rayon or cotton in it.
