Use the burn test, it won't tell you much about blends, but it will tell you if it's animal, vegetable, or mineral (wools/silk-silk also usually has a distinctive odor, plant fibers like cotton or linen, or petroleum based-acrylics)Without a label you can still figure out the needle size to start with, tooFold a length of the yarn in half and poke the fold through the holes of a needle gaugeThe hole it fits in and fills up completely gives you a starting point for needle sizeKnit a gauge square and attach it to your yarns with a 3x5 card of what you determine the fiber to be.
