Do you find only sprinkling one side of the yarn causes the hank to only have the color on one side? Most people I see dyeing flip the yarn over. With sprinkles you just wait till the one side has set before putting sprinkles on the other side.
You can use different techniques in order to get the amount of sprinkles you want spread evenly on the skein. You can flip the yarn, and you can also twist it slightly before putting it in the pan. I haven't really had any issues where I would get speckles only on one side, usually the strands in the skein aren't consistently stacked in a way that makes that happen. I find it more a matter of how much speckles you want, and if you want a skein that is really heavily speckled I would absolutely flip it too.
