One book mentioned here is noted for giving information on the linen (following is copied from the above-referenced page):
"The Bayeaux Tapestry: Monument to a Norman Triumph", by Wolfgang Grape, copyright 2000, ISBN#: 3791313657, paperback, about $40. (Better colors, better text, though images are smaller. Gave more info about the thread count of the linen [54 threads per inch] and told us that the images were drawn in red.
