Troubleshooting
Color is uneven after dyeing.
Ensure fabric moves freely in the washing machine and that the weight of the fabric does not exceed the recommended amount.
Color is not as intense as expected.
Verify fabric composition and ensure it is primarily cotton, linen, or viscose. For lighter shades, synthetics can be mixed, but pure synthetics will not take the dye.
