Rashi makes no such statement or implication! In fact, Sefer Hachinuch (286) writes: “ שצבע התכלת לא היה יפה בפשתן לעולם אלא בצמר ”.
It is evident from Gemara Yevamos 4b that linen can also be dyed תכלת , but there’s certainly no implication that techeiles takes equally well to linen or other fabrics. (Dyes generally do not hold as well in linen compared to wool, as the Gemara says in Nida 61b).
Indeed, Murex can dye linen, but the color comes out weaker. This has been independently tried and tested successfully (see picture on right)
