mercerised cotton burn tests differently

[sewaddicted]

I've been looking out for new Ma Dola fabric - a royal blue cotton - to make the dress version of her costume. I hadn't found anything in the easy to get to fabric shops, not even at a higher price than I'd like to pay

Fibre content & weaves is something I aced at the tech college when I studied fashion production (pattern making etc, marking). I did the 1hr test in ten minutes and got 99% - a weft-knit I skimmed past lost me that perfect score. This fabric really stumped me cos it had no poly characteristics. but black flame & ash isn't cottony.
