Not the best picture but it does show that the linen I dyed in the very blue cabbage water is...blue. I will do a full write up with video (hopefully!) later but I wanted to share this much. I'm holding a roll of paper towels above it just for the color focus. You can easily tell it is not white that way.
I used leaves of a purple cabbage and boiled it for an hour and a half. When the leaves were pretty much green from all the purple being leeched out of them, the dye bath was ready. The linen here has a rust mordant and still came out a rather lovely color.
I did try to dye with the avocado and ammonia solution but it really didn't work. I'm going to try boiling the avocado pits next to see if that works at all. However, that won't be until later in the month.
