Remember, though, that wool takes dye very well and all you would have to do is buy some RIT dye and use your washer to create a better or different color!! For example, you could overydye the bright green with a blue to create a lovely dark green. Or add blue dye to a pink wool to create a lovely lavender or purple. > also, this is a bit of a boast, and I will not be able to give the name of > the store (i am going to go back on sat, and i just know where it is) but > I found a bunch of 60 inch wide linen in fairly light weights for 3.50 > (plus 8 5/8th % sales tax).

Just be sure of what you are buying when you pay that price. You might be able to ask for a burn test there or get a sample and burn it outside yourself. I would just hate for you to buy "linen" and find out that it really is linen/rayon or poly/rayon.
