Why indigo dyes each fiber to different extent?

Indigo dyes different fibers to varying extents because the dye's ability to penetrate and bind to the fibers depends on the type of fiber and its chemical composition. Certain fibers like cotton or linen have properties that make them more receptive to indigo dye, resulting in deeper and more vivid coloration, while fibers like wool or silk may not absorb the dye as readily, leading to a lighter color. Additionally, the dyeing process and the techniques used can also affect how well indigo dye adheres to different fibers.
