Cotton can continue to burn, but wool is generally self extinguishing, too. It’s one of the ways you can identify the fiber composition of unknown cloth (burn test).

Sorry. I was unclear. I just meant one would expect it to burn much as another textile of a similar blend. So more wool, less fire; more cotton, more fire.

Oh, yeah, I was agreeing and expanding on what you were saying 👍
