How I Dye Yarn In My (New!) Oven - Studio Vlog #84 ¦ The Corner of Craft

I return with another Studio Vlog! Thank you all for your patience as I get back into the swing of things. Since I have been gone, we have a new addition to the dye studio: an oven! It's been a learning curve to adjust my dye style but I think I'm getting the hang of it now. We chat community in this vlog, as well as chatting about how oven dyeing differs to induction hob dyeing.
I'm currently prepping for East Anglia Yarn Festival (9th & 10th March in Norwich) as well as dyeing colourways for my upcoming Stardew Valley collection!

It's been a while! Lovely to see you around again. Also, you should not feel horrible about taking a break from (too much) youtubing, you should feel good about this! Taking a break should leave you feeling good and refreshed, not guilty about taking said well-deserved break.

Hello. I've missed your content. Thank you for coming back ❤

[@britdowson8324]

Nice to see you.

[@catcraftyknits]

You dyed Prestidigitation again!! 😁

[@natasja7384]

So glad that you're back! I've missed you on here. I love it when you talk about your techniques. It made me see it doesn't have to be complicated and makes me comfident that I can dye up my own roving or overdye yarns in my stash that I don't really use. Last year I specifically bought several balls of white yarn second hand just so I can dye them up to use with other yarns from my stash. Because we all have a few skeins of yarn that don't really match the others in our stash. This week I will attempt to dye one of those white balls of yarn with coffee, 'cause I'm running out of yarn for a specific project and the postage to have potential new yarn delivered is more that the cost of the new yarn. So experimentation it is!

[@stohandmadejewelrycraftcorner]

Glad you are back 💕

I have been wanting to buy an oven for over a year now. I started dyeing yarn like I have one just to see if I would like that technique versus what I’m used to. It’s been a lot of fun playing around with different techniques. I hope you are enjoying your oven. It has to be amazing being able to dye that much yarn at one time. I’m a big speckler so I think that’s one of my biggest hold ups. Sorry for the book I guess I needed to get that out of my system 😂

[@alanapont4145]

So happy to see you back! You had earned a nice break so I hope you’re a bit more refreshed ❤

[@NinaChristensen]

This was so interesting and honestly affirming to see! I switched from hubs to oven 1,5 year ago and it has affected how a lot of my colorways come out. I sometimes feel like I'm a useless dyer because of it but it's very nice to see that you also have to do some funky work-arounds to make it work. And that it just isn't the same as dyeing on hubs - and that's okay. 💜 Some of my older colorways also have a lot of steps and I've had to reformulate some of them or I'd lose my marbles to be honest. I feel like I was using a lot of power by heating the yarn on hubs so I'm glad to have made the switch. Also the effeciency as you mention is worth so much. Dyeing yarn is hard work. 😅 Yay for ovens! Thanks so much for the peek into your everyday as a dyer. It can be a lonely job so it's very lovely to see someone else going through the same motions. 😊 Warm regards from Nina in Denmark // Midnatsstrik

I've missed you. Congrats on the new oven! I love watching dye videos, thanks for sharing.

[@michellekitson5405]

Welcome back Hannah. Thought you had wore yourself out last year. I think all business owners need a break a the end of the year as you have all been gearing up for the Advents for December for Christmas and that is a lot of work. Take time out every year at this time for yourself. It is so interesting seeing how you dye your yarn. Hope the speckled ones worked out in your new oven for you. I also hope the markets go well for you. Take care

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Yay lovely to see you back. Hope you had a nice break whilst away from making youtube videos. Don't feel bad, look after yourself! I can only imagine how intense filming for vlogmas would be.

[@thecornerofcraft]

Thank you! Usually Vlogmas isn't as bad because I've wrapped up most of my business by December for the year. But with the collection taking 5 days a week and then helping Mario at markets twice a week, I was teetering on the edge of burnt out 😅 x

[@MelBassett-yb9xg]

So happy to see you back. Xx

[@melissaamber7307]

Thanks for a great video! The oven looks like it’s working great for you!!! That landscape colourway is pronounced like Galar , is a type of bird here in Aus , very pink 🥰 I do love that colour! thanks again for a lovely catch up! Xx

[@RachelWest0]

It is lovely to see you! I am glad you were able to take a break. Will you be hosting another Advents of Decembers past this year?

[@thecornerofcraft]

Happy to be back!! Yes I definitely will. I've not touched any of my 2023 adventd yet 😅 I've not even finished my AoDP cast on from last year!! x

[@RachelWest0]

@@thecornerofcraft yay! I need the motivation to clean up my shelves😝

[@ballintotasalpacas697]

Hi there. I'm so curious about your oven. I'm wondering where you got it and if you have tips for where I might look in Canada to find one. Thanks!

[@thecornerofcraft]

I bought it from Adexa in the UK. I don't have any ideas for Canadian suppliers but restaurant supply businesses may have them. They're known as proofers or buffet carts/heaters x

Thanks for the love xx

[@judyreynolds305]

Love you setting a time to stop knitting….I do this. Set a time or alarms to stop knitting or sewing😂. If not nothing would get accomplished!!

[@thecornerofcraft]

Oh I have to otherwise I'd never get any work done 😂 x

[@jennifer_beaulieu]

I love learning about dyeing techniques, as I am fascinated by it, and want to understand it even though I have no plans to dye yarn myself. I really appreciate the content. Breaks are absolutely necessary and understandable, but I'm also glad you're back.

[@nanettelucy963]

Hello lovely dyeing just came over pace i am new at dyeing ❤

[@Tiredmum]

Gonna need an advent

[@sesebellas]

Hey ❤ back from a KZbin-free Lent. Glad to see you again! Splitting the screen to follow both the knitting pattern/the row counter and a video or something is not silly at all!! We all do it. ❤

[@thecornerofcraft]

Welcome back 🥰 x

[@AntisocialAuntie]

Brilliant to have a split screen to keep it from going to sleep! I'm going to do that on my tablet from now on! Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡

[@thecornerofcraft]

I do it when using beading patterns too. Such a game changer!! x

[@AntisocialAuntie]

@@thecornerofcraft I definitely could have used that trick on my temperature blanket with every row a different color! Next time. 😁

[@mindfulmelbournemaker]

Oh I was so glad to see the notification that you had a new video to watch - thank you for showing your dyeing process ❤

[@carlascrochetcrafts]

Hi Hannah, really pleased to see you again. I totally understand about you having a break after doing advents. I love to watch different dyers doing their techniques. Your new oven looks fab. Enjoy your day x

[@knitrinka9493]

Why does buying clothes that fit you seem to be such a revolutionary idea? I've started doing this and I feel fantastic about it! It only took about 30 years for me to realize that!!

[@mistyyork5271]

Happy to see you again :) I'm so happy that you took a break, sometimes we need to step away to be better. Glad you are back though ❤

[@kathryndenne1717]

Great to see you back in you tube. I often use the split screen technique too for knitting and you tube watching.

[@moiragarner1253]

Love that film. Colours will be interesting 🤔

[@monahoscheid]

Beautiful yarn colorways 😊

Thanks for the love xx

[@kathyrusch2393]

I am doing a colorful yoke and those graphs that take an hour to finish one row like yours. I am looking forward to hitting the plain body. Loved hearing about the speckling technique. Everyones yarn is so different in that regard so fun to have a peek into why. Lovely to see you again. Thanks for sharing!

[@thecornerofcraft]

A plain body is such a reward for a complicated yoke!! I love seeing how different people dye yarn. I find it so interesting and learn new techniques all the time x

[@Jojo-xt7ks]

Hope you're feeling better Hannah ❤

[@thecornerofcraft]

Yes thank you. The break was needed and I feel good about making content again! x

[@pammyers1982]

Thank you Tara. It feels good to be back x

[@chelseaw5011]

So glad to have you back! I've been living that forever-sweater life too. I'm working on a fisherman's rib collar of a cardigan (because I couldn't bother with a full brioche collar for 4" over 300 st). I'm also playing yarn chicken, which makes it a little more daunting

[@thecornerofcraft]

Oof yarn chicken is no fun at all! I hope you win 🏆 x
