I once asked this of a friend of mine who is a natural dyeing expert (she teaches classes, and has a Laurel in the SCA East Kingdom for this, if that means anything to you ) She told me that beet dye isn't very color fast. She said it fades to brown fairly quickly, especially as compared to the expected lifespan of the fabric. I haven't proven this myself yet, but I put a lot of faith in this person's knowledge. Here's her webpage on dyeing: http://fibers.destinyslobster.com/Dyeing/dyeindex.htm
