When tie dye isn't mixed properly, you can get some splotches of color on your fiber.  What would happen if we intentionally try to speckle cotton and wool yarns with the dry Tulip One Step Tie Dye Powder?  In this video I dyed three skeins of yarn: KnitPicks Simply Cotton Sport http://shrsl.com/zo4p (50 g 100% organic cotton), KnitPicks Wool of the Andes worsted weight yarn http://shrsl.com/k9c0 (100% Peruvian Highland Wool)  and Sugar'n'Cream worsted weight white yarn 100% cotton.
