Switching Techelet

Hey everyone! My father holds by the Radzyner techelet, while my Rabbi holds by the ptil techelet. After doing research of all the research between the two I’ve come to the conclusion that ptil techelet is the more likely correct one, due in part to the Radzyner requiring the use of chemicals to attain its blue coloring.

That said, I have a pair from the past few years that is Radzyner, and I have a pair my Rabbi had made for me back in 2008 which was made with the ptil techelet and my shabbat tallit also hasRadzyner on it.

They are all 100% wool, so the oldest begged is the one with the “correct” techelet. Because it’s the oldest, it’s also the yellowist pair.

Should I have the strings moved onto a new begged or should I just let it be and keep wearing it until the strings wear out?

Would wearing the Radzyner still be allowed? I definitely can’t afford switching my shabbat tallit over to ptil techelet at this time…
