Why do dyed clothes come out blotchy?

Dyed clothes can come out blotchy due to uneven application of the dye, variations in fabric composition, or inadequate mixing of the dye solution. If the fabric is not prepped properly or if the dye is applied inconsistently, certain areas may absorb more dye than others. Additionally, factors like water temperature, duration of dyeing, and the presence of residual chemicals can affect how evenly the dye adheres to the fabric. Proper technique and thorough mixing are essential for achieving a uniform color.
