Hey Emilia! 🌸
I understand that you used it according to the instructions with the amount of clothes and materials, so it's a shame that it didn't turn out well 🧡
What could have caused a blotchy result could be:
🌀 Uneven distribution in the washing machine
If the garment can't move freely or if the dye isn't mixed properly, it can cause blotches. Ideally, wash a maximum of 1.5 kg of fabric at a time.
💧 Uneven moisture in the fabric at the start
🧼 Detergent residues or stains before dyeing
Grease or detergent residues can interfere with dye absorption. Always wash the garment thoroughly before dyeing, without fabric softener.
👕 Different materials in the garment
Mixed materials (e.g., cotton + polyester) absorb dye differently. This often results in a somewhat uneven outcome.
🧽 Stains in the washing machine
Old detergent residues or limescale deposits in the drum can affect how the dye spreads.
I hope this can help if you dye them again ❤
