wiwingti, To check if the ito you purchased is really nylon, try doing a burn test. If it's nylon, it would melt and there would be no flame. The odor is like celery and the residue is hard bead. If it's silk, it would burn slow, flame would be orange/yellow, odor is like burning hair, and residue is brittle bead. I have done a couple of tsukamaki and would like to share it with you for some encouragement. Here's my 1st try: /index.cgi?board=swordcustom&action=display&thread=1868 And here's my 2nd try: /index.cgi?board=swordcustom&action=display&thread=5708 Just keep on practicing.

KatanaHunter: Nylon does catch fire so if you are doing a burn test, be careful. When nylon melts, it becomes a pretty fluid liquid. Believe me, I have had liquid nylon get on my hands before.

I also wanted to suggest a burn test but completely forgot! Would love to see what it turns out to be though....
