Struck gold! or more to the point - THREAD!

We had to go get new school uniform for my DD yesterday and there happened to be a Charity(Thrift) shop next door to the uniform shop. they were selling bobbins of old thread for 10 pence (6 cents) a bobbin. I took the whole container to the checkout and bought them all for £4 ($2.45). They are amazing! When I counted them there were over 50 spools of different colours! I sorted them out into Polyester and cotton as far as I was able. I prefer cotton but they will all get used up. Does anyone know a good way of telling if a thread is cotton or polyester if there isn't a label on it?

Blessings, Carol

P.S. I will post the pictures of this haul as soon as I can.
