That's what I've heard, Tarbicus. You can try it, if you have any real linen, just dye it with grocery store water dyes (mostly those are vegetable) or dye it with yellow onion skins, for example. Dye a piece of natural wool along with it and notice the difference. I think plain table salt is the mordant for that, with a vinegar rinse, but I wouldn't swear to it. My wife knows more about the dyeing process than I do.
My specialty is fading cloth on other cloth. :roll:
