So, me being me, I read a book by the name of The Knitter's Book of Yarn, by Clara Parkes. In this book in mentioned that wool, when lit with fire, extinguishes itself. I thought to myself, "Why don't we test this theory?" Of course, I had no wool yarn at that point in time, so I was unable to do a mini science experiment.

Until a few days ago, that is. I got a box full of free yarn from one of Emily's in-laws. In it was a skein of felting wool. It was dyed,  so I wasn't sure how well it would work. Here's a video of me burning a piece of the yarn. (Not the whole skein).
