Fireproofing Fabric

I bought a 1978 magazine that has a recipe for fireproofing, ( a fabric retardant, really), fabrics, I would think you could use this on skeins, etc.?

7 oz borax
3 oz boric acid
2 quarts hot water

Dissolve boric acid by making a paste with a little water. Add the Borax and the remaining water and stir until clear.

The fabric may be dipped in the solution, sprayed, or sprinkled.

I did this to my cloths for my display stands when I was a potter/sculptor at the Renaissance Faires. I found it effective, though you have to reapply after laundering.
