You can test fiber content by doing a burn test. Have a bowl of water readily available, I do it over my kitchen sink. I take a piece of the suspect fabric and hold a flame to it. If it melts it is a man made fiber or contains some like a poly or poly blend. If it ashes it is a natural fiber like cotton or silk.
