For a surprise-free reorder, keep a physical swatch of the previous lot and the colour code number, if any. Ask for the new lot to be compared with this swatch and with the originally approved lab dip. Do not rely on photos or on Pantone. The same recipe can give a slightly different result with a different yarn lot or dye lot.
Say whether the new pieces will be worn or sold next to the old ones, because then the tolerance has to be tighter. If possible, dye a reserve of fabric with the first order. At Alteks, the colours in the AT 101-AT 320 palette have a code, which makes repeat ordering easier.
