Best Answer

You can perform a microscopic purity test by using transmitted light to see if the fibers form simple shapes. For example, cashmere's fine fiber will appear as small blocks next to each other. Pure cashmere is always labeled as 100% cashmere and it is soft and slippery, but if it is part silk, it will appear shiny.
