Real old thread, but my initial efforts to use madder on linen got a pinkish result which was great for the lady who wore it.
However, I since found out that modern linen is treated with a number of substances such as wax that make it feel better, and that these need to be stripped out before dyeing. There is a page on this somewhere....
