Suggestions for Uneven Coloration

Q: I am getting uneven color when I am dyeing. Any suggestions?

A: Uneven coloration can be a result of many different factors. Not thoroughly scouring your fabric before dyeing can lead to uneven results. As can not agitating / moving your fabric while it is in the dye vat to ensure the liquid covers all parts of the piece equally. Also, if sediment from the bottom of the vat gets on the piece, it can block future dips in the vat from effectively transferring pigment to the piece. Just make sure to thoroughly rinse between dips to avoid this.
