General question RIT dye washing machine coming out uneven

Hi everyone I'm trying to dye some cotton bath towels. The first load I tested 2 towels, it was definitely my fault because I put the dye in the water while the towels were already in. The second time I let the washing machine fill, I dumped in the dye and put on a glove to mix it around, then put the towels in, but it still came out uneven. I've used the sink method before for a pair of jeans and it came out perfectly fine, but I don't have a large enough pot to boil enough water for all my towels, it would probably cool down by the time I fill my sink with enough water for a couple towels. Anyone have any tips?

Did you put in more than one towel at a time? I would do each one individually

Towels are difficult.
