old yarn colors

If you can get a dye lot or date close to what you were using you may be okay. Red Heart did change manufacturing sites at one point and some lighter colors were slightly different between factories. Red Heather may be okay.
When I can't get the same dye lot, I will sometimes add a contrasting color for a row or two (makes it look planned) then switch to the different dye lot. Some patterns don't work well with this technique. You may want to contact Red Heart directly to find the history and availability of this color.
