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.
đź’§ 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.
đź‘• 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 ❤
