To test whether a sweater is made of natural fibers, you can use the following simple methods:
1. Burning Test: Take a small amount of fiber and ignite it. Natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool, cashmere) burn like paper or hair, giving off a smell of grass or burnt hair, and the ashes are brittle. Synthetic fibers (polyester, acrylic) melt and shrink when burning, emitting a pungent plastic smell, and the ashes are hard and clumpy.
2. Touch and Visual Inspection: Cotton and linen feel soft with natural wrinkles; wool and cashmere have a warm touch, good elasticity, and tend to form pills easily; synthetic fibers are relatively smooth, overly elastic, and have a rather glaring luster.
3. Water Absorption Test: Natural fibers have strong water absorption and water droplets quickly penetrate after being dropped; synthetic fibers absorb water slowly and water droplets tend to roll off easily.
4. Label Verification: Check the ingredient labels. Those marked with "100% cotton/wool/angora" are natural fibers, while those containing "polyester/nylon" are synthetic fibers.
Combining multiple methods can lead to more accurate judgments. The combustion method and label verification are particularly intuitive.
