Fabric Burn Test | Viscose | Spun Viscose | Fibre Identification | Sew Rogue
Do a burn test when you are unsure about the fibre type of a fabric.
The fabric tested is a square of Spun viscose.
A woven fabric that consists of wood pulp, but can also be made from other plants that can produce a pulp, such as Bamboo.
Viscose, is a regenerated manufactured fibre, that is produced by extruding the wood pulp into fibres. This makes viscose neither a synthetic fibre, nor a natural fibre, but something in-between.
When doing the viscose burn test, the following can be observed:
Fabric is flammable
Catches fire easily - flare up when lit - even makes some sparks
Burns easily - continues to burn quite rapidly
Continues to burn after extinguished, but no afterglow
No melted beads
Grey smoke
Smells like burning paper
Ash is crumbly and soft - will disintegrate if you rub it
Wondering why you should do a burn test?
