How can you tell if a fabric is silk or polyester?

I've been given some textured lengths that are supposed to be silk. Because of the texture I can't tell by feel.|||silk have good absorbency and polyester do not.





silk:low conductivity and beautiful drapery,great shine.soft luster.


good absorbency.


strongest natural fibers but loses 20% strength when wet.


and if exposed to sunlight too much it'll weaken.poor conductor of electricity.





polyester:less chance of wrinkle.Polyester fibers have high tenacity and E-modulus as well as low water absorption and minimal shrinkage in comparison with other industrial fibers.|||Well,silk is really smooth.


And if you spill something on it,you cant take it off.


unless yuh go to the dry cleaners.


polyester..


idk/.|||Some say that if you rub it really fast and create friction that polyester will tend to heat up but silk won't...
