Yes to this! I wash all of my linen exactly as I do other clothes *except* that the reds, pinks, and blacks (to make a full load, since the blacks won't be hurt by getting a little fugitive red dye) together, the whites together, and the blues/browns/greens etc. together. Misc cotton (stockings, older junky clothes, underwear) gets thrown in the appropriate pile after Pennsic as well, I don't separate by fiber. We wash all of our laundry on cold or warm unless it really needs more (yours may, after a month, especially the whites) with regular detergent and then machine dry. No need to baby linen as long as you're sure it won't bleed, and if you have anything that does you will know after you do this a time or two.
