Inspired by delicate flower pressings, Subtle Impressions offers vibrant texture and color. To create variety within the pressings, the design team shipped in hundreds of flowers, varying in type and selected for their saturation and intensity of color. This natural design process was then paired with a novel yarn technique to create an innovative production process, unique to Subtle Impressions.
“We explored contrast through mixed weight threads that produced a highly textured surface, and this combination of yarn provided dynamic color and increased texture,” said Shannon Cochran, vice president of creative and design for Patcraft. “We found that three yarns blended together looked like watercolor, offering more variation in hue and saturation than a two-tone color.”
