Republican Tunica Blues

[Lepidina]

You know, about that red linen...I guess I just figured that since it had been washed about 20 times already it would behave. But nooooo, it had to have been saving up all that fade for the time that a nice, white tunic showed up.

Some dyes just never set. One thing that us knitters do with handdyed yarn is handwash the yarn or the knitted item in cold water and vinegar which sets the color. Might work for the linen.
