A long time ago, I dyed some 100% wool yarn with some tulip dye that had been mixed ages ago.  I dyed a miniskein, and the resulting colors was vibrant.  I needed my squeeze bottles for a Dyepot Weekly episode, but they still had some really old tulip tie dye in them.  I decided to use them on a 100g, 100% wool skein of yarn http://shrsl.com/k9c0 (KnitPicks Affiliate Link) to see how much color was still usable.  

I dyed this yarn in October 2017.  Some of these dyes might have been mixed in June 2017, others in March 2017 or even as far back as April 2016.  These are OLD DYE.
