dyeing linen

[Matthew Amt]

Eek, no, I wasn't trying to create a logical proof! On the contrary, I mostly agree with you. And there is never enough good evidence! I was just throwing out some vague caveats, and warning that "They MUST have done it" is not necessarily a safe tenet on which to base anything. Frankly, I'm happy to waffle about it all--it looks like undyed linens are the safest way to go, but I won't object to colored linens! Some of that's just a reluctance to force reenactors (especially the ladies!) to wear wool all summer, but still. Maybe I'm just getting lazy in my old age!

Vale,

Matthew
