What are the classical (pre-rishonic) sources explicitly or implicitly against the view of the Rambam that the tekheleth string is only half-dyed?

    Check out the Sifrei in both Shlach and Ki Tetze, as well as the Gemara about finding Techelet in the Shuk and trying to decide if it was dyed Lishmah.

    It's on Eruvin 96b. If Tekhelet for Tzitzit was half dyed, then wouldn't it have been obvious that it was Lishmah? Who half-dyes wool for other things? The Sifre is quoted here judaism.stackexchange.com/a/67712/759 and doesn't seem to give 7/8 as an option.
