<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 335637, member: 29&quot;]I&#039;m unconvinced this is silk, the weave looks wrong and it&#039;s shiny in the wrong way,too. I suspect rayon or similar, especially as it&#039;s 1950s ish. Threads aren&#039;t right, either. The best way of being sure is a burn test on a thread. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.threadsmagazine.com/2013/06/20/how-to-identify-fabrics-with-a-burn-test" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.threadsmagazine.com/2013/06/20/how-to-identify-fabrics-with-a-burn-test" rel="nofollow">http://www.threadsmagazine.com/2013/06/20/how-to-identify-fabrics-with-a-burn-test</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And this, although I&#039;d not use as much fabric: <a href="https://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Burn-Test-Chart.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Burn-Test-Chart.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Burn-Test-Chart.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I would be very very wary of steaming it unless you&#039;ve done a great deal of it. Rayon doesn&#039;t always react well to that, and silk can pucker badly. Hang it in a steamy room for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
